Jul 24, 2011 at 3:20 comment added Chris S Also, votes on m.SF don't have any affect, they do not affect your reputation, neither positive nor negative. On m.SF, as womble points out, it means "I agree" or "I disagree". On SF they mean "Good Question" or "Poorly worded/thought-out/factually-flawed Question" (or similar for answers). Also, you posted a cartoon as an Answer, a cartoon which didn't actually answer the question either. I'm sure others have said, read the faq, but this isn't a discussion board or forum, and is meant for professionals to help solve each others problems.
Jul 23, 2011 at 23:22 comment added Peter K. :-) Thanks for the support guys! Much appreciated. I am still trying to get my head around the SF environment, so I thought I'd ask about the downvote.

Jul 23, 2011 at 23:17 comment added womble Mod Don't take downvotes personally on SF -- they mean "this answer is wrong" and "this question could be better", not "you're a bad person". Really don't take downvotes personally on MSF, they just mean "I don't agree with this".
Jul 23, 2011 at 23:14 comment added Chopper3 Mod I've no idea who or why someone down voted you but seriously dude, concentrate on adding to SF not moaning about losing the odd rep point. Firstly it's only meta, it doesn't really count and it doesn't really matter, you should see how many down votes all of the top rep users get. If you're going to come on here every time some upsets you you'll only get more down votes I'd imagine.
Jul 23, 2011 at 23:10 comment added Peter K. @Downvoter: Why a downvote? I thought this was the place to ask these sort of questions. I'm trying to get the hang of what and how to ask questions on Server Fault... and I can't see any other place to ask.

Jul 23, 2011 at 22:59 comment added Chopper3 Mod Ultimately you posted a cartoon not an answer, and non-answer get deleted, nothing personal, happens all the time. If I was annoyed it was because we've had a flood of just this kind of easily-answered-but-often-needlessly-argued complaint that takes time away from my weekend and other mod jobs that need doing.
Jul 23, 2011 at 22:52 comment added Peter K. @Chopper3: I pay for what I get! ;-) Thanks, again, for responding.
Jul 23, 2011 at 22:48 comment added Chopper3 Mod You're right, I am, and the majority of the reason why has nothing to do with you or your post, we've just had a lot of very low users moaning about single post close/deletes today. We get hundreds of posts each day to be checked, some need moderating but the only people that ever complain are new users with some sense that their words and only theirs are gold woven thread that can't be touched, very often the exact opposite is true. I'm sorry that you feel moderators need to be ice-cool perfect people, after all you pay so very much for this site right, you deserve better right?
Jul 23, 2011 at 22:38 comment added Peter K. @Chopper3: Thanks for taking the time to respond! No offence intended, but your comment here comes across as "harried and annoyed" which, in my opinion, is not conducive to reasoned moderation. Perhaps you should re-think your level of engagement? YMMV.
Jul 23, 2011 at 21:58 comment added Chopper3 Mod We haven't got time sorry, we don't get paid for this and it takes a LOT of time, we also get a lot of crap to deal with, so sorry we don't justify our every minor action. 90% our work is driven by alerts from other users, as it was in this case.
