If you are here because you like the content that you find on Stack Exchange, then you should realize you need the downvotes to work as they do in order to generate the content the way it is generated. If you don't want people to downvote the way they do on SE, then you don't want to be on SE. If you want to be on SE, then you'll be happier if you learn to accept downvotes with grace. | |

Given that no one around here votes much anyway, it wouldn't be much of an added burden either, so that's another argument in favor of the idea. | |
| Apr 28, 2016 at 17:36 | comment | added | Katherine Villyard | P.S. I agree with Sven, too, that if you think the person who downvoted was too harsh, you can upvote the question. It'll be a net win for the OP, rep-wise. | |
| Apr 28, 2016 at 17:31 | comment | added | Katherine Villyard | I probably wouldn't downvote that question, but I wouldn't call it "well-formed," either. It's definitely a step above "I followed this how-to guide [link] and it didn't work HALP!" but it's basically, "Here are my versions and configs. I see a lot of processes and think I may be running out of memory. Eventually it stops working." He includes a lot of good version and config info, but we'd need his error logs, the output of top, and things like that to see what was happening when it stopped responding in order to help him. Hopefully, he'll provide those. | |

| Apr 28, 2016 at 9:37 | comment | added | user9517 | That's not a well formed question. It's basically a load of stuff chucked at the internet screaming HALP! in the hope that someone will guide the author through reverse Q&A - That's generally called tech support not Question and Answer. | |
