- DaniFong 18y agoHow are you supposed to know the reasons behind the votes? Often times something of mine will get downvoted, and I'd like to address it, but I have no sense of what the problem is. I have to actively keep myself from deleting things that have received a quick negative response sometimes. I have an idea: limit the number of downvotes per user per day. If the want to downvote something else, something will have to fall off the stack. I think there's less of a danger if people only downvote what they disagree most with, as opposed to dismissal. (ps: wow guys. real funny.)
- ardit33 18y agoWow. Dani's comment was good, and she got downvoted just for fun. Not good guys. Things like this turn a good and serious site into something like reddit or digg, where there are no more intelligent conversations. I don't like when my posts are downvoted, so I refrain downvoting people too, unless it is necessary. If I don't agree, I'd rather just voice my opinion.
- xlnt 18y agoif you don't know the reason for a vote, then you shouldn't feel bad about the vote, since you don't know, was my point. the parent said he cared about karma.
