Whereas I agree with you that it is indeed a poorly formulated question, I can't help but feel that the OP may not be very good at English.
That's quite a dilemma: CP is an English speaking site, and a lot of members expect other members to have a perfect command of the English language. On the other hand, there are plenty of developers than don't have English as a native tongue, but still experience problems they need help with.
Surely, it's not fair to be rude to members for not being able to speak perfect English, but on the other hand, it does limit the help we can give them.
BTW: I noticed that apparently it is no longer possible to see who posted the question... That seems odd to me. Would anybody care to explain why?

I have been a member here for a long time, and it makes me chuckle when members bring Q&A bullshit to the Lounge, usually for the public embarrassment of the Q&A-OP, however it is packaged. This post is nothing more than that, IMHO.

I ask merely in light of recent discussions where some have suggested that it's harsh to be judgmental about newbie posts - I certainly have no intention to embarrass the OP who is highly unlikely to see my post my here.
I've not factored into anything the fact that the poster is not a first-language English speaker or the level of his coding skills. Simply, that it's a very poor question in that it doesn't actually ask anything.

If I started a thread for every QA question I downvoted\reported I'd need my own section
If it's a crap question, it's a crap question, downvote and move on.

I think it's less harsh than my usual way: I completely disregard them and not waste even a second of my time on them, just by the title.
, I would put them directly in the spam filter.

Did you downvote my answer too ? Well, guess crappy questions lead to crappy answers

I think someone downvoted your answer because there is a much simpler way to display a date string.

Rather than hide from this quip, they milked this for all it's worth (and obviously more). An now, with an obviously low comment, I'll just mooooove on.
