pdb chain id

I wouldn't exactly call this rude, but it is definitely a turn-off when posters act as if their problems are greater than those of others. If you are in such a hurry to get an answer, I suggest searching the whole site first. The answer to your question was already available on Biostars.

Literally a minute after creating the post, Mensur? I'd say that's definitely rude - it's almost a tantrum.

You seem to take some of these things personally, and seem to prefer assigning labels to posters and their actions. This is based on multiple observations and also from personal experience, because I was at the receiving end more than once.

Unless there is an unambiguous way to label someone's action - don't think that's the case here - I prefer to tell people how their actions make me feel. So in this case what the poster did is a turn-off for me. Every time you call someone rude based on posts that are similar to this one, that offends me, and I imagine it offends the posters as well. I think that in this case the poster may be called out for spamming, or for being inconsiderate, and probably several other things. Yet I don't see how asking for help multiple times is rude, even if it offends you or makes your job more difficult.

I suggest you consider the difference between typing:

Please do not add an answer just to push your urgency.

Versus:

Adding an answer to push your urgency a minute after adding a post is rude. Please do not do this.

I think both are communicating the same message, but one of them has the potential to offend the posters and alienate them when it comes to future participation.

Appreciate the feedback. My take is that I criticize the action and ask that the user avoid it - I try my best to skip imperative sentences. Even here, I wanted the impact to be on the action, hence the "Please do not do this (previously mentioned rude action)". I take your point though, it is more annoying/spammy than rude.

This seems to be the exact same question. Could it be an assignment question that multiple people following a course are seeing?
