A review must be a review, a reviewer a reviewer:

#A review must be a review, a reviewer a reviewer: II have no idea if what I wrote above even makes sense. But I know one thing:

Don't get bothered with attacks:

#Don't get bothered with attacks: It'sIt's crystal-clear that no two people are the same. To make matters worse, people are of different moods when visiting here. It's morally feasible for a user to visit here after s\he has just found out to have blown up their geometry final exam. To make matters even worse, when new users are unfamiliar with the rules they should abide here, and see such comment when looking for an answer eagerly (maybe looking for someone to do their homework, at times) they could feel hurt. To make matters even worse, non-native speakers are a lot to come by. They may misinterpret what you mean pretty easily, or they might use words that have implications they aren't fully aware of.

  1. Review carefully. "Not reviewing at all is better than a rash and reckless review." (Paraphrased from herehere.)
  2. Don't overreact. There is a boundary between being a caring and sympathetic yet disciplined and serious reviewer and being a pessimistic one who closes anything in touch because in the furthest sense of the question lies proofreading assistance or dictionary look up.
  3. Consider excessive "politeness". It's better to say "you probably should provide your research into solving the problem yourself." Instead of for example "you must show what you've done or we'll close this." I figure out the latter isn't impolite, but gives a "shouting" connotation as the OP sees the comment. And I also figure out auxiliary verbs of speculation do the job the best way. :D
