| Sep 11, 2012 at 8:10 | comment | added | gnat | +1 reflecting on how you vote is the way to go: one of the most productive ways to learn at Programmers imNSho. And not going with the flow is the right attitude. 'You may find that highly voted posts have a certain appeal that kind of makes you compulsory follow the "majority vote". Resist that appeal, because making a habit of blindly following the score may damage your ability to evaluate content. When you see a highly voted post, don't just click the up or down arrow...'

| Sep 10, 2012 at 22:09 | comment | added | Roc Martí | @psr The example questions isn't the only thing in my answer though (and I was answering the question as it was before the latest edit). The point I'm trying to make is that the downvotes are justified (imho), given the site's scope and expectations, at least for this very limited set of questions (the negatively scored questions that were in the first page of the newest questions while I was writing the answer). Although the set is limited, is far larger than the OP's two questions, and I think it supports my opinion that there's no problem. Crap questions get downvoted, the system works! | |
