I do not do this to punish the user--rather, I do it (often also upvoting their other question) to help establish the original question as the one in which work should occur. | |

| Aug 10, 2012 at 17:25 | comment | added | RobotHumans | @JorgeCastro - I agree, but it might be users that can't vote to close yet and are out of flags. | |
