| Aug 30, 2016 at 19:44 | comment | added | WinEunuuchs2Unix | One down voted answer that is possible if people posted comments. The other question is closed because it was asking opinions on best terminal commands. Deleting due to peer pressure is sounding better all the time.... | |
| Aug 30, 2016 at 18:02 | comment | added | Elder Geek | The other option is to improve the post. | |
| Aug 30, 2016 at 14:54 | comment | added | WinEunuuchs2Unix | @eldergeek Yes I noticed that badge and was tempted... | |
| Aug 30, 2016 at 8:16 | comment | added | Elder Geek | There's a badge... Called Peer Pressure that you get for deleting your own post that has 3 or more downvotes. | |
| Aug 30, 2016 at 0:27 | comment | added | WinEunuuchs2Unix | @ElderGeek I've only down voted SPAM that I can think of. I've read some stupid things but not down-voted them and if I did I would be loathe to say "you are stupid because 2+2 = 4 and not 3 as you claim". Still I want to be a team player and want to know what I said wrong when down voted. One thing irking me is I'm still getting down votes for posts on question asked during my first week here when seduced to post a question in the first place. The question was opinion based, closed and still down-voted even today. Tempted to delete the question but I'll take my punches. | |
| Aug 29, 2016 at 12:48 | comment | added | Elder Geek | While it's nice to receive a comment with some constructive criticism it's not required and there are those who won't. I wouldn't worry about that nor would I waste time attempting to convince those who are diametrically opposed to your point of view. Note that votes are locked until such time as you edit to improve your post. This means that even if you got down-voted by accident the only way to change a vote is more work on your part. To the best of my knowledge this applies to meta, askubuntu, and all stack exchange sites. | |
| Aug 28, 2016 at 3:19 | comment | added | WinEunuuchs2Unix | @ElderGeek Personally I thought "subconscious trepidation" might have struck a nerve. Thanks for pointing out meaning of down votes on meta. Rather than votes from the dark reaches of the internet, I'd rather have a negative comment explicitly stating their rationale. Who knows maybe then I can reason with them and convert them to the light! | |

Down votes on meta just mean disagreement. Whether that was related to over thinking, enthusiast/volunteers or overly judgmental I won't hazard a guess.

I see two of my down-voting fans are opportunistic :D | |
