This is an open letter sent to an administrator addressing some relevant issues in my opinion regarding the rejection of my account. I hope this inspires some change. Thanks.
In response to your rejection,
First I would like to begin with a quote. "Brevity is the soul of wit." I would just like to say your dismissal of my application because my posts were too short is wrong in my opinion for several reasons. I will list them now.
1) A one-line question or response is no less relevant than a paragraph or two. Often long winded questions and answers simply serve to confuse others with extraneous information. My posts were concise for a reason to get my point across and get relevant SPECIFIC information to questions regarding web design and other issues. A whole paragraph would have been grossly unnecessary for most of my questions.
2) Topics with answers already aren't necessarily the end all be all for a question. Often times others will have different views on how to solve a problem. For example if I had just read FAQs regarding frames i might have found only 1 or two relevant responses but by posing the question again I believe I may enticed additional responses that would not have been answered by the FAQ. Just because a question has already been asked does not mean it should not be asked again. Asking the same question gets real-time response and encourages people to interact rather than read canned responses deemed appropriate my the administrator.
3) Quantity does not necessitate quality. I bet you would find many one to two paragraph posts that could have easily been asked in a shorter form allowing more people to read it and come up with an answer. Often times people add non-relevant information that confuses their real question diluting the potential to get the answer they are looking for quickly and with precision.
In summary I hope perhaps you can use my response as a stepping stone to re-evaluate your methods of rating your post. I know I am a newbie and outside but I am already discouraged by your response and rejection as it appears to be elitist and disheartening. Once given permission to post to my account I would have many more questions I am sure but instead I am stuck now. I am a novice and need guidance to improve instead I am being told that my ignornace is not welcome in your community. I potentially would come up with better posts with more experience but as a newbie I need to keep my questions simple. Perhaps another web community will welcome me with open arms more easily than you have done.
