Mar 17, 2015 at 15:07 comment added Nathan C @peterh Why don't you ask Google before assuming? "Try to use text instead of images to display important names, content, or links. The Google crawler doesn't recognize text contained in images. If you must use images for textual content, consider using the ALT attribute to include a few words of descriptive text." source
Mar 17, 2015 at 14:04 comment added peterh @Gaia See my reasoning in my answer. The question remains: do you really want this question to be well-indexed by the google, or not?
Mar 17, 2015 at 13:57 comment added Jenny D @Gaia I see your point, especially in this context. However, it's pretty much impossible to in any reliable and reasonably objective way monitor the reasons for any given vote. The only exceptions are the ones where it's possible to see from site data that someone is voting down or up a person rather than a question - i.e. where there are many votes for one person/question by accounts that can be correlated to a single user, or where one user consistently down- or upvotes another user. But apart from that - all votes are subjective to some extent, and the only recourse is voting differently.
Mar 17, 2015 at 13:32 comment added Gaia Understood and accepted, although "whatever reasons they wish", especially the last word, seem awfully subjective for this community - I am surprised. Thanks.
Mar 17, 2015 at 13:25 comment added HopelessN00b Mod @Gaia Nope, with the exception of revenge-downvoting and sock-puppetry, people may vote however they wish, for whatever reasons they wish.
Mar 17, 2015 at 13:17 comment added Gaia I don't care about a couple points but the downvotes could entice ppl to not care about the question as much. Aren't downvotes reserved for questions that don't fit SO's guidelines instead of questions that don't fit an editor's personal feelings?
