| Nov 30, 2011 at 12:54 | comment | added | user57221 | Yes you are right fuscata. in two days I asked two questions about my server. I got -4 down voting for serverfault.com/questions/335930/… and -7 downvoting for serverfault.com/questions/335446/…. This is not the first time. it happens all the time on server faults. you are not encourage to ask subjective or conceptual question. they like us to ask question like what is the outcome of 2+2=? this is totally discouraging for those people who don't know what is the problem and where to lookat | |

| Oct 2, 2011 at 17:01 | comment | added | xofer | I originally omitted examples to avoid arguing over specifics. My goal was to get a sense of how the established members of SF felt about down voting new members, and I feel that's been achieved. Thanks to all who responded. | |

| Oct 2, 2011 at 2:16 | comment | added | xofer | @Jeff Atwood: Here's one example: IMO the asker wrote a fairly poorly worded but reasonable question: How do I configure Sendmail to relay email? He didn't word the question that way, but if he had known enough to, he probably could have found the answer without SF | |

| Sep 30, 2011 at 3:32 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | can you provide specific examples? It's difficult to talk about this in the abstract. | |
