The number of times I have seen "why is this being down voted" over the past week or so is absolutely insane. More so when most of the subjects of the downvoting complaints aren't actually below 0. People need to chill about about voting. The guidelines even say "don't complain about votes". https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

>The number of times I have seen "why is this being down voted" over the past week or so is absolutely insane. The number of otherwise benign comments that get down-vote bombed in all the Boeing threads over the past week has been insane. It's no wonder that complaining increased with it. Usually when there's a majority/minority opinion split on an issue around here the minority opinion doesn't get buried like it has on this issue. It's not surprise that some people don't like that change in community standards. >People need to chill about about voting. The guidelines even say "don't complain about votes". The guidelines also say "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith." Which exactly nobody in any of these threads is doing.
