Do people realise answering a question by saying "reported" or "no chatting" is a reportable offense?
I've seen a lot of people answering questions by saying "reported" or "no chatting" or pasting the community guidelines. These people are hypocrites as they're not answering the question that someone asked, this can be and should be reported as 'not a question or answer'.
If people concentrated on giving decent answers to decent questions and having a sense of humour about the less serious questions this would be a far better site.
People should clean up their own back yard before they criticise and condescend other people.
Another pet peeve of mine is people saying "use spell check", this is also reportable.
I'm talking mainly about the people that do this with harmless questions by the way, not the really offensive ones.
If someone says "do you like my avatar" and someone replies "reported!" the answerer can be reported as he/she is not answering the question the person asked, therefore it's 'not a question or answer'.

Your exactly right, answering a question that they know isnt a question is also a violation, for two reasons, its not a answer and most do it for two points which is gaming for points.
what users need to do is RAMO reprort and move on to the next question.
to answer your question, i dont think people even know or read about the community guidelines or if they do then they dont care about them.

No , probably not. If you are going to report someone you should not warn them.

Actually it is not. It is just used to give the asker that their question is not appropriate
