For people less strong willed than me, I think it's conducive to breeding negativity and elitism, like the analogy with the monkeys and the banana at the top of the ladder. | |
| Apr 6, 2019 at 20:27 | comment | added | Domarius | Yeah I'm getting that. I've been reading SO longer than I've been posting questions, and often I see good, honest questions closed for strange reasons, it just seems like some moderators on there must be on a power trip or something. And yes, the question is about answers, but it's also about downvoting without explanation, which I think is a more general issue worth discussing that can be applied to both questions and answers. | |
