Oct 9, 2016 at 17:08 comment added Anwar @CristianaNicolae I think I understood your concern. Yes, It is highly recommended to leave a comment for newcomers and I try to do so. Otherwise They'll never learn and that downvote will be fruitless. Since you've brought this, I'm updating the post
Oct 9, 2016 at 17:03 comment added Cristiana Nicolae I agree with you in that the newcommers shouldn't be downvoted without any serious reason. I know that a downvote, especially one given without any explication in the comment section, can be quite frustrating for the user. I know that some people don't even bother to be polite and/or to have a straight and logic rationale, in one word, they rant in a quite rude way. Exactly as we speak I'm trying to deal with such an individual. Anyway, my previous comment was just my trying to see the situation from a sociological point of view. I don't know if I have succeeded. @Anwar
Oct 9, 2016 at 16:55 comment added Anwar @CristianaNicolae I don't recommend downvoting newcomers unless it's absolutely necessary. But even if a person is new to Ubuntu, there should be some effort from his/her side. I see many people just dumping their questions without even doing basic tasks. Those can be downvoted.
Oct 9, 2016 at 16:51 comment added Cristiana Nicolae You've mentioned bad questions. Well, in my opinion, these are more likely posted by newcommers, who don't know well Ubuntu (and thus, they don't even know WHAT to ask about, Linux being so unfamiliar to them), and are non-native English speakers (and thus, they don't know HOW to ask in and understandable manner). But, I think that seeing new users is a good sign, it most probably means that Ubuntu gains more fans.
