| Dec 3, 2023 at 12:38 | comment | added | kishkovert | This is especially correct if the question explicitly states some specific Ubuntu version (e.g. "Can not disable hibernation in Ubuntu 20.04"), since a correct high quality answer for that version is the only thing that can get an upvote - an answer for a more recent version would be incorrect in that context. | |
| Dec 3, 2023 at 12:19 | comment | added | kishkovert | Voting is determined by the quality of the answer, or at least in my opinion it should. Removing an upvote from an answer indicates that the question quality for the relevant version has decreased - but is it the case? Think about it like this - will a person using Ubuntu 20.04 find this answer useful? For this user, does the answer adhere to your quality standards? If the answer to both are yes, then there is no need to "deduct" upvotes, because objectively the quality of the answer for that specific version did not deteriorate. Cont' | |
