Guidelines for asking
On this site, it's reasonably straightforward to upvote 
or downvote 
questions, or ask for corrections or clarification 
.
But how do I decide what counts as a good question or a bad question?
From what I could find, the closest thing to guidelines is at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/A.... Also, this answer gives links to a different site.
For example, consider the question at https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/questi.... It seems like a bad question for many reasons:
- title is too long and doesn't seem like a summary
- no version number or operating system
- not clear what file types are involved
- no reproducible steps were given
- The whole question is very unclear.
However, I did not downvote because I cannot point to any recognized standard that was not followed.
If a questioner only has 1 point, and ask a reasonable question, I often up vote just to help them get started here.
I recently tried to participate at askbot.com where I only had 1 point. Oh, my gosh. How terrible it is not to be able to add links, images or vote.
So to me the 1 up-vote to get them 10 points, helps build members here who have shown some basic trustworthiness.
But note that I didn't up-vote the example given, which is a terrible question IMHO. ... But might be foreign lang.
May be: "If you are no fluent with English, repeat the question in your native language". It would give another opportunity to understand the question.
