We have this a couple of times where people are called rude, cranky, unhelpful or other stuff when they were normal helping, just cuz the person complaining isnt hearing what they wanted to hear or are making things bad that arent bad. We should have a rule against that and if they break that rule they should get muted for a day or two, if they break it again ban them or something.

Its getting ridiculous and just stopping help doesnt work, cuz someone else might chime in and help and they dont learn.

Ehhh, not sure if there should be a rule that prevents this considering people can genuinely be rude. The majority of people are not rude but rather very direct and straight with their answers, but to really prohibit commenting on it seems like a weird thing to have. This obviously came from the discussion that sparked a few hours ago, but it might make sense to point out to them that there will be people that provide good help, just not with a direct smile.

If someone doesn't vibe with the way I explain something, or won't hear what I'm saying, I'll just tap out and leave the discussion to someone else. You can't force people to accept your help, and especially not under threat of being muted or banned.
People are all different, perceive things different, and learn in different ways, and occasionally you have to accept when some people aren't ready to pick up what you're putting down; and that's okay.

It’s worth remembering that some of these people are kids, or folks just dipping their toes in seeing what Unity is all about, and they might be years away from actually learning development. Punishing or insulting them for not learning “properly” risks alienating them entirely.
Everyone is on their own journey and we should try to be mindful of that.

At some point, if they get actually abusive/nasty, there are already rules in place for that.
