From yesterday I was seeing there are many down votes are being given to the questions, without explanation. Today I found this question can-code-completion-be-consideration-of-choosing-a-programming-language which I think is a good fit, but again given down vote and no-one in the comments has mentioned about down vote. Also one of the answer for some other question has unexplained down vote. unnecessary down vote. I could have given up votes but I do not want to give up vote just to avoid down votes. Isn't there any way to avoid this anonymous down voting?.

Down voting is anonymous by design and will always remain so. Down-voters are free to down-vote anything they want for any reasons. The most common reasons being poor quality or an incorrect answer/assumption. In both cases you point out there are big quality issues. The first questions is incoherent and borderline not a real question. The answer you link to is a poor quality answer, it doesn't really answer the question (which is also bad) and would qualify as a link only answer if it had a link.
