| Apr 20, 2018 at 15:39 | comment | added | Doc Brown | CharonX, IMHO your "testing classes in inheritance hierarchies" is perfectly on-topic for this site. The only thing I noticed is, the example looks a little bit contrived and artificial to me, and hiding non-virtual functions in a derived class is IMHO often a code smell. Some people here in this community are very trigger-happy with the downvote button, but we cannot educate them to leave at least a minimal comment why they downvoted a question. | |

| Apr 20, 2018 at 9:04 | comment | added | CharonX | Thanks you for your kind words. The "testing inheritance hierarchies" question did turn around from negative to positive (though this might be just from the additional exposure it got from being linked by this question). Still, I must assume that I did something wrong initially, as it was downvoted several times - all voters giving no comment nor hint on why they felt the question was "bad" or how I would be able to improve it... I can understand not leaving a comment if the "problem" with the question has already been clearly stated by others, but if there is no hint on what is wrong... | |

People will downvote for different reasons, but later on, other people will upvote - so, it will take some time for a some sort of a consensus to form (regarding the quality/relevance/interestingness of the question). E.g., I saw your "testing inheritance hierarchies" question earlier, and thought it was interesting (I wanted to write an answer, but got caught up in other things). At the moment, the question is not <0, and there are a couple of answers there, so it can't be that bad, right? | |
