I responded to a question on SO once where I elaborated on the accepted answer - my solution was more functional as it provided assignment operator override.
Some hot shot user with an absurd amount of badges told me, in a condescending tone, that my solution did not answer the question and linked me to some TOS article or something about staying on topic. This was the first time I had ever answered a question on SO.
My takeaway from the situation is that SO is full of accounts that farm badges/rep. To what end, I do not know - perhaps they reference it on their resume or portfolios.
I called the guy out, seems he has since deleted the comment.
