| Jul 26, 2010 at 19:02 | comment | added | Ward - Trying Codidact Mod | Back in Oct/Nov 2009 when there were a few threads about "how to grow, improve SF," (including yours, when you were DLux) one of the things I commented on was that meta.SO didn't work as a place for SFers to discuss meta since it was dominated by SOers. Maybe now that meta.SF exists, it will be possible for SF to define itself in a way that isn't dominated by programmers. | |

| Jul 26, 2010 at 17:40 | comment | added | sysadmin1138 Mod | I have absolutely zero experience with PHP or supporting PHP applications, which is why I ignore that tag. This means a good chunk of questions are invisible to me. I've also experienced the same, 'specialist answers get 1-2 upvotes, but generalist answers get 10s of them,' phenomena myself. People read the tags they understand. In the public beta phase of SF, it was clear people were reading everything. As traffic increased, people started reading (and upvoting) much lower percentages of posts. | |
| Jul 25, 2010 at 19:00 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | Good point. My own voting pattern is affected by not necessarily being able to recognise a good answer because of my own limited knowledge in a particular part of the field. Bad questions and answers tend to be much easier to spot. My own questions have each received very few answers and votes, even when they've carried bounties, which tells me that at least they are not newbie questions. ;) | |
