Apr 20, 2015 at 17:58 comment added Mr One ZED So given the instances that I have been through, a post not solving my situation does not render it dangerous or bad because it may work for somebody else or perhaps it is what it is from the source code that someone copied and pasted verbatim. I'm only to learn but I do not understand is why post of mine about problems I'm facing while using a distro got downvoted? Was the question irrelevant as to what I'm going through or was it some kind of my fault to have encountered such problems? If questions could be downvoted, how would anyone learn to take care of his own daily Ubuntu problems?
Apr 20, 2015 at 17:41 comment added Jacob Vlijm I am not sure what you are suggesting; ban the downvote in general? We've got upvotes to mark what we think are the good posts, downvotes to mark what we think are the bad ones, the dangerous ones or the useless ones. It all serves the quality and usability of the site. On the average it will work well and be useful. Every now and then someone will get frustrated by a downvote. Life ain't perfect.
