| Jul 12, 2016 at 0:05 | comment | added | Tim Malone | FWIW, I might have downvoted your original answer if I had seen it at the time too. Nothing against you personally - the answer is much better after your edit. It's just that link-only answers are discouraged right across the SE network, whether to official documentation or not, and they even often get deleted in the low quality review queue if they're not improved on. There is no reason to delete your answer now though: you're clearly not the type who just 'drops by' without trying to understand how the site works (there's heaps of people like that). It's great to have you here =] | |

| Jul 11, 2016 at 14:11 | comment | added | C C | ok, thanks @Rarst. I depend on you guys to help me, and I do want to "give back" help to the community when I can, so I am very conscious of not wanting to irritate people. I do understand better now, what is expected of a "good" answer to a question. | |
| Jul 11, 2016 at 14:09 | comment | added | Rarst Mod | @CC please do not delete your answer! Your time and effort are always appreciated here, the details are just a learning curve. :) | |
| Jul 11, 2016 at 14:06 | comment | added | C C | well, I updated the answer. It looks like my answer has really ticked some people off so I will probably just delete it later today...sorry for the trouble and confusion about this - next time I will just downvote the question as that seems to be the desired procedure. I'm still trying to learn the culture and "vibe" here... | |
| Jul 11, 2016 at 14:01 | comment | added | user9447 | well, per a Q&A awhile ago I was led to believe the codex is going away and you do not include the code plus some could take your answer as somewhat rude. You can include the basics for explanation in your answer. Providing a full detailed answer I wouldn't necessarily do as the question in itself is poor and I would downvote it as well as it shows no effort. | |
| Jul 11, 2016 at 13:58 | comment | added | C C | ok, understood - thanks. I didn't realize that links to WP codex were considered "risky" but I get the point. In the case of this particular question there is way too much code he needs for a complete answer (integration with mailchip, etc) -- but the "create a user in WP" piece is simple enough.... | |
