| Nov 22, 2014 at 7:53 | comment | added | Rob Moir | There does seem to be a glut of visitors nowadays who would rather spend half a day arguing about why their incomprehensible question is fine as is, or that the site rules don't apply to them, than half an hour writin a good question in the first place or improving it after getting feedback. | |
| Nov 21, 2014 at 5:36 | comment | added | Katherine Villyard | What Andrew and HopelessN00b said. I've found that comments to improve questions are not always well received. People who reply with defensive, hostile, or angry comments in reply to constructive criticism discourage future constructive criticism. | |

| Nov 20, 2014 at 23:00 | comment | added | Andrew B | @HopelessN00b I think this goes back to "the effort you put in". If a person wants to avoid downvotes and it shows, they're going to get a more patient explanation. If low effort is put into the question and understanding why it was poorly received, expect merciless bullet points. | |
| Nov 20, 2014 at 22:51 | comment | added | HopelessN00b | Also, if you decide to request feedback, don't be surprised when you get it, or become offended when receiving it. If, for example, you write a horrible question and ask why it's getting downvoted, I may notice and take that as an invitation to leave a comment about everything that's wrong with it... which has resulted in many a flag for me not being nice, which goes back to the point about why so few people bother leaving feedback. It's much more likely to cause drama than anything else. | |
