I still have general confusion on what is or isn't a good question to ask. Some examples: serverfault.com/questions/608149/… <-- not closed. closed --> serverfault.com/questions/607680/… | |

Clarification

| Jun 23, 2014 at 17:30 | comment | added | Travis | I do get it though, there are just flat out crap questions and answers but some times a quick one liner explaining the reason is enough and other times it isn't. "How do I write a batch file" can simply be down voted (really flagged) and answered with "Google search it." | |
| Jun 23, 2014 at 17:28 | comment | added | Travis | @HopelessN00b I guess I should have clarified the down vote because I did think along the same lines as your comment when I devil's advocated my own comment. The reason would have to be something constructive and not a comment that can be flagged or create arguing. It can even be anonymous. I have had an answer down voted before and have no idea why. The general consensus and foundation of SE is for the betterment of the group by revolving around teaching as opposed to the "gimmie da codez" mentality, yet we repress the teaching by down voting without reason. It is counter productive. | |

The reason for a downvote is never going to fly, and has been shot down repeatedly in mSO/mSE. I think that's a good thing. If I had to drop a comment on every downvote they'd all look pretty close to I downvoted your question/answer because it was shit. And frankly, telling someone why you downvoted their grabber never helps, and usually just leads to them getting butthurt and arguing in comments and flags flying all over the place.
