Sadsongs

In reply to a badly-worded question with little information (obviously from someone whose first language was not English) I replied "Please ask again in different words and with more info."

My answer was reported and the powers that be rejected it, taking points from my account.

I believe my reply to be reasonable and polite, and several people will ask for clarification when questions are unclear. The effect of such deletion will be that people won't answer badly worded questions at all.

I'm doubly annoyed in that I spend some of my time on a content site advising non-English speakers on how to improve their work - I resent the report and the declining!
