Why "Post hidden due to community flagging"?

Hmm, multiple users per ip thingy there is kind of understandable to
some extent.

And thanks for taking the time to explain your point and I do respect
that. Yet, I kind of disagree. Stackoverflow has an ultimate goal to be
the place for quality q/a and it’s commercial success depends on
that as well.

Stack overflow also provides several powerful tools to improve those
low quality answers. So its take on quality is not dismissive, but
rather embracing.

But forums.meteor.com does not (or I haven’t noticed it does) declare
such ultimate goal. It also does declare to be the official community
discussion tool.

So regarding low quality questions, even those that are extremely
poorly written, the community will either answer or not on a case by
case basis, not around a general consensus.

So merely flagging a post for being a low quality question servers
against us being perceived as a welcoming community.

But if we are going to insist on pinning down those low quality
questions with flags, then by all means, let’s also implement the tools
to improve them.

Otherwise, we are all free to ignore those questions and set the
example to others to see that to get good answers, they need to ask
good questions.
