The lack of experimental details seems to be a problem for most posts I visit to try to offer advice. There needs to be a policy or standard set of information that is offered up to get proper advice. Check out some of the QA spaces in the computer science realms to see what I mean (eg. stackoverflow). The majority of replies to a post seem to always be clarification questions and then a few people to take a stab at an answer.
I sort of understand most peoples reluctance to provide details as they fear being scooped, but if your want help you have to give a sufficient amount of detail. Most problems stem from experimental artifacts or fundamental misunderstanding of biological principals. For example you can hide the name of a gene but should provide functional details like if it is a transcription factor or a kinase, I think the name of the sequencing platform or details on how a library is prepared are very pertinent pieces of information that will not deluge to the world your research.
The post on this system are too much like twitter. Its fine for quips or to point people at a resource/news article/event, but not okay for any serious conversation.
