| Mar 6, 2014 at 13:52 | comment | added | Gaffi | Regarding Avoid ad-hominem voting, I notice that VBA hardly ever gets votes.... EVER. There are times when I'll post nearly identical answers in VBA and then in another language, and the other almost invariably gets more votes. It's not just USERS who don't get votes, but also languages. I realize VBA is not likely to WIN any code golf challenges, but since votes don't count towards winning, I see no reason NOT to vote if the answer is good. /end_personal_rant | |
| Mar 3, 2014 at 14:36 | comment | added | Peter Taylor | This should be at least 6 separate answers so that the independent points can be commented on and voted on independently. | |
| Mar 3, 2014 at 6:19 | comment | added | Victor Stafusa | @dmckee Edited the answer and removed the two points. What do you think about it now? | |
| Mar 3, 2014 at 6:19 | comment | added | Victor Stafusa | @JonathanVanMatre Ok, removed those two points, you two conviced me. Those two are very minor points in the overall, so it is not productive to waste energy on them anyway. | |

| Mar 3, 2014 at 6:04 | comment | added | Jonathan Van Matre | Excellent principles overall, but I join @dmckee in thinking that other people's rep cap is not something you should have to concern yourself with, nor is counteracting other people's votes. I think those two are even counterproductive to Doorknob's proposed mission to improve participation and advancement on the site. If someone believes they need a multivariable equation with data like SuspectedSpitefulDownvoteCount and VoteRecipientLikelyRepEarnedToday just to make a vote decision, they'll to be less likely to vote because it feels like a chore. Vote your opinion, plain and simple. | |
| Mar 3, 2014 at 4:48 | comment | added | Victor Stafusa | @dmckee I edited those parts. Is it better now? | |
| Mar 3, 2014 at 4:48 | history | edited | Victor Stafusa | CC BY-SA 3.0 | Improving the questions pointed by dmckee. |
| Mar 3, 2014 at 4:39 | comment | added | Victor Stafusa | @dmckee About the upvote to counter downvotes, that is why I specifially posted unfairly downvoted. I.E. I judged that the question/answer is not bad and do not deserve so many downvotes. About the rep-cap, the intent is to maximize people rep and never prevent someone from get a badge (in fact it is more about helping get the badge than preventing), this is save the upvote for tomorrow since the user already hit the rep-cap today. | |
| Mar 3, 2014 at 3:54 | comment | added | dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten Mod | "Upvote to counter-downvotes" No. Just no. Vote your evaluation of the content. Either a post is worth your upvote or it is not; what other people think of it should have no influence on that. Likewise on caring about other poeple's rep-cap: what are you trying to do, keep them from getting the epic badge? Maximize their rep? Is it about the rep? | |
| Mar 3, 2014 at 1:33 | comment | added | Justin | @DigitalTrauma the annoying thing about that is that if I don't check the post soon enough after it is edited, I have to edit it to change my vote. I actually have done this a couple of times. | |
| Mar 3, 2014 at 0:19 | comment | added | Victor Stafusa | @DigitalTrauma Yes, incorporated your comment in my answer. Thanks. | |

| Mar 2, 2014 at 23:40 | comment | added | Victor Stafusa | @user2509848 Exactly that! Good to see that I am not the only one. | |
| Mar 2, 2014 at 23:05 | comment | added | user10766 | I almost never downvote. I just don't upvote if there is a problem. | |
