- Asking 'Can anyone help me?' or similar questions is discouraged in online communities.
- Directly asking your specific question is more effective and respectful.
- Asking to ask puts unnecessary responsibility on others and may deter potential helpers.
- It's better to describe your problem clearly to engage knowledgeable individuals.
- Similar issues include the XY Problem and 'No Hello' etiquette.
