Eh, I didn't feel like I was being accused of anything. I was actually incorrect since I've looked at my profile and apparently I asked two questions (and have answered none).
I would fully admit to not engaging the community in the same way most devs have on SO and I understand that in order for the SO community to be successful it needs just as many people helping others as it does people asking questions.
I've been on there for two years and some change and maybe I'm at fault for not scrutinizing the rules when I first joined (I belong to many forum communities so that I can seek similar assistance and help others and they tend to be very hands off moderation wise), but I think that myself, like others, seek out the community on StackOverflow to answer a one off question from time to time and maybe there should be very clear policies about this kind of interaction (or some considerations given to users who use the system in this way but find it hard to contribute because of lack of expertise or because easier questions have already been answered by others).
Also if my rep could carry over from some of the other networks (ie: I might not be able to answer your Redis questions but I can sure contribute to the Wordpress network) that might help my grievance a bit. That solution does open up other problems, but you get my drift.
