This.
I too, have found so many downmodded questions to have the exact answer I needed for a particular problem. It's by far the most frustrating part of using Stack Overflow.
The overzealous modding has had a chilling effect on my desire to ask a question on SO, because nobody wants their question to be downmodded as a stupid or pointless question.
- DanBC 12y agoThe overzealous modding is a feature not bug of SE sites. I find some of the moderation really frustrating but it's worse when the people closing threads and answers are also the ones leaving zero-content comments.
- junto 12y agoIt would be quite interesting to know which topics you find this happening. I don't tend to see this kind of toxicity on SO. I'm frequenting C# and .NET. Maybe Jon Skeet drags the C# community up to his level!
- slantyyz 12y agoI see a lot of this in the web development oriented areas. So mainly in the CSS/JS areas.
