Linking to documentation as a punishment for threads created in bad faith isn't helpful to the actual audience (Googlers) of this community. People read Reddit subs to seek solutions, practically useful information, code snippets, almost never links to the documentation. Links to docs can be helpful if it specifically about something immediately helpful, that doesn't require you to search an exhaustive list of capabilities stuff etc. Documentation is easy to find, we are not clicking on Reddit links for finding the documentation. Please understand the audience and how Reddit is actually used. What I'm saying has an extremely large impact in IT and finding information in general.
Edit: Here is a good example of what I'm talking about. Everyone is screaming "maybe just fix the problem lol?", nobody but me got even close to what the audience actually wanted. I personally know how annoying that error popup is and realised that people just want to ignore it, turn it off "I don't have time for this" and gave the correct copy paste to achieve that. Several Googlers thanked me over the span of months (let that sink in)
Edit 2: Yeah, this wasn't a very good post. Documentation wasn't really what I wanted to say and my usage of "everyone" is not entirely true and I see now that I portray myself in a somewhat biased way. I hope my point wasn't completely lost. I'm trying my best. I have perceived a lot of toxicity lately and wanted to give a perspective on how Reddit has been useful to me as some kind of way to make it better. I guess I just wanted to vent without realising. Good day
