Yeah it's annoying. Onus should be on the OP to provide a readable alternative, most don't and it gets left to helpful people like in the sibling comment here.

Yeah it's annoying. Onus should be on the OP to provide a readable alternative, most don't and it gets left to helpful people like in the sibling comment here. I think sometimes the OP doesn't realise or has forgotten it can't be seen by others, but in many cases it's maybe laziness. The guidelines don't help in saying criticism is off limits either, it's too regular an issue.
