Heres my frank answer(s). I'm not by any stretch suggesting these are reasonable answers. But, thats how content consumption goes on the internet.

Questions

1. I've seen so many of the same question (or thereabouts, or it doesn't interest me).

2. I see a question that has potential but I want it to 'fill out' a bit more before I upvote it. Then promptly forget about it.

3. The question is poor. I can basically deliver harsher 'justice' by close voting it, plus there is no cost to my magic internet points.

Answers

1. I'm spiteful that someone got their first.

2. Sometimes I can behave like a freeloader when in autopilot.

3. The answer is 'obvious' or 'not creative', typically unremarkable.

4. Like most people -- I find it more difficult to praise than to criticize, especially when you've seen many of the same questions posted.

• I am more inclined to upvote an answer which is well formatted and easy to read.

I never downvote answers and very quickly you learn not to do it. The only people who tend to answer are regulars and they become very confrontational if you downvote them. Its not worth irritating your peers because they will likely remember that when it comes to upvoting me on an answer later on. The 'active' community is small enough that this is actaully something to take into consideration.

Resolutions

1. I need to stop being a lazy selfish whore on the internet. I should actually upvote questions and answer more and make an effort to do so.

2. For the most part I focus on the questions that interest me and forget to upvote the ones, that -- whilst possibly well written -- I just forget about.

3. Dont count it against me if I downvote. Its free to flag and vote to close, sometimes a 'hint' by downvoting is likely a better way to do it, but that comes at a personal loss to my magic internet points.

4. Give me a tab of 'questions you recently viewed' so that I might go back to the ones I checked recently.

5. In all of the review queues, give me the opportunity to upvote and downvote. The close queue does not let me do this. Its stupid because it almost forces me / encourages me to close vote things.

6. I actually prefer the review queue 'view' where I go 'next', 'skip', 'do nothing' etc even for standard questions, rather than being barraged with lots of questions at once. All the activity on the main page often makes me feel like I have to rush around the questions being offered to find one I feel I can give proper attention to. Given a full question without my screen real estate being hampered by lots of other questions actually allows me to focus and evaluate a question on its merits/downfalls more and perform some action against it.

7. Get the chat RSS feed to start recommending me questions. I'm more inclined to take more of an interest in questions that are recommended to me than have to put in mental effort to find a question that is of interest to me.
