If someone thinks the question is stupid or not doesn't mean that a downvote is warranted. (nor an upvote, answer the question and move on.)
The type of questions being downvoted sometimes makes me question sanity. In general I believe that downvoting is probably one of the most poisonous thing invented in newsgroups.
- softwarejosh 7y agodownvoting is toxic yea, but look at twitter for what happens when its not a thing, its just as bad if not worse in this direction, comments have no almost no coherency and trolls are incredibly rampant. on sites with downvoting like reddit the problem is somewhat less, but the hivemind effect takes root. theres really not many good solutions right now.
- FpUser 7y agoHow about moderators and the ability to ban? I understand it might not be economically sound.
