The "Sergio Pérez" Award

You may attain this award when your app breaks down unanticipatedly at the final stage, despite having run seamlessly before.
This award was inspired by the 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix, where Red Bull-Oracle Racing's driver Sergio Pérez's engine seized up on the final lap, causing him to retire.

Introduction

Algae is a autotrophic organism. The things mentioned here are mostly about autotrophic organisms, but, the term algae is used to make it an anti-award, else if, the term autotrophic was used, it would be rather an award instead of an anti-award.


Description

The one who marks his own reply as solution to his own post, even if it was not the actual solution.


Any doubts about why I'm making this `anti-award` ?

This is because I know such people in the MIT AI2 Community.

Will not be mentioning.


Criteria
  • At least 15 solution markings to your own topics.
  • All the solution markings to your own posts should have such solutions that aren't solutions actually, i.e., they'd not be correct solutions.
  • Atleast 5 solutions should be off-topic.

#off-topic About the number of edits.

I've edited this so many times and so much to provide the best content possible, including fixing some typos.


Have you seen such people in the
MIT AI2 Community ?

The Vanishing Cream Cup Award

image

Questions usually get answers/solutions within minutes on the community. Some users ask a question, and then completely disappear for weeks/months/longer, before returning to either ask another question or say thank you for the solution.

I somewhat admire this relaxed attitude to app development :wink:

I saw five such people just today, for three of them, I provided the Solution to their problem, they saw it, but they didn't mark it, other two, just created the topic, and have vanished.

The Snipe

A little unfair on this harmless pretty little bird, however....

The snipe has probably been coding (but not block coding) for over thirty years, thus suffers from a severe lacking in social skills, knows everything about everything, and simply has to have the last word, .....before going off in a huff. The snipe is fun to "bait" if you have the time and energy, but for the unsuspecting, best left well alone.

The Dripping Tap

Somehow you just know that having provided a solution to a user's problem, they are going to come straight back with:

"actually there are five of them"
or
"just one other thing" (related or not)

and this will keep happening....

For those of us who, for whatever inexplicable reason, are incapable of starting their own topic, or asking their query on an existing topic of their subject after searching the community, appear to pick a random topic from the latest view, and ask their unrelated question there....
