| Oct 2, 2011 at 2:21 | comment | added | xofer | @Mark Henderson: I did notice that since posting this question (obviously not doing a lot of down voting myself) and I agree that's very helpful. Thanks for pointing it out. | |
| Sep 30, 2011 at 12:14 | comment | added | Bart Silverstrim | The trouble as I see it is that it's easy to downvote, but it takes actual effort (although it's minor) to leave a comment. I've hated drive-by downvoters who won't take two minutes to say something about why they do it. On the other hand if you require comments or some mechanism of explanation, you'll have less chance of people burying questions that should be buried. | |
| Sep 30, 2011 at 3:59 | comment | added | Mark Henderson Mod | There is a "Please leave a comment" flashcard that shows up when you do a downvote. People really need to start leaving comments, because I see the same, a whole bunch of -1's without a single person explaining why | |

| Sep 30, 2011 at 2:32 | comment | added | xofer | "Try to participate, get slapped, never come back again." That's what I'm talking about. Maybe a "This is a new user, be gentle" kind of message would help? Anyway, thanks for the very thoughtful answer. Back to answering & upvoting... :-) | |
