>> Once you see a constant flood of "I made app, here my 1000 lines of code (screenshot), I get error, where bug?" that the moderators have to defend the site against - you might just change your opinion about the value of downvotes.
My favorite is always when they dont get a response and then get angry at the community -- "i asked three days ago, STILL NO ANSWER, ANSWER NOW"

Cherry on the top is when someone new comes in the comments and they yet again ask the same thing, I loved that.
