Slapping users in the face with an "off-topic" will only upset and discourage people. It would be better allow one well worked tutorial/resource question and answer it properly and then use the duplicate controls to point to that answer. I can't speak for others but I answer questions to be helpful not hostile. | |

Mistakes doesn't look like something we should encourage here. Good Learning Resources's two most upvoted answers are good examples of why most sites disallow these questions: they are link-only answers with some noise thrown in. | |

| Feb 4, 2015 at 8:09 | comment | added | yo' | @200_success That's something I don't argue about, and I've actually VTCed on that one myself. As I write: It takes some thought, which this one did not. | |
