In other words, whilst the vote-count is certainly helpful, it's not the end-all-be-all of post quality. I hope that was more clear. :-) | |
| Sep 18, 2013 at 1:01 | comment | added | Cypher | @TheCleaner, No, certainly not. I believe what I was trying to say was that while highly up-voted questions are usually well written and worthwhile, that's not always the case. Voting on the SE sites tends to follow a combination of popularity of the user, timing, social jest, and quality. [continued] | |

Why would you argue "I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock on the voting being synonymous to 'good' questions." in my answer above and then state "There are already mechanisms in place to handle poor quality questions (votes, flags, etc)."? Are you stating that only downvoting is worthwhile?

Real people with real projects and real deadlines should contract with real IT support professionals to get the support that they need. | |
