on StackOverflow it is entirely normal, even expected, that you post a well thought out and reasoned question and its instantly downvoted because, well, who knows why Hmm, not my experience, at all. Though I heard this more than once, so I see a couple of possible reasons (or combinations thereof): - depends on the community/tag; I've mainly asked questions tagged with the languages starting with a C, some git stuff and some more obscure things - depends on the poster's reputation points i.e. maybe there's a bias to not downvoting/closing questions asked by people with 10k+ points? - the questions were not actually well thought out/reasoned even though you think they are Any ideas?
