| Sep 4, 2017 at 16:57 | comment | added | Ramhound | "I realize that many down voters are afraid of retaliation down voting - (and many trolls should be)...." - You do understand not everyone who issues a down vote is a troll, right? When you review hundreds of a submissions in the review queue you become a target for serial down voters, and the process of reviewing those submissions DOES NOT make you a troll. | |

| Aug 29, 2017 at 3:45 | comment | added | CBruce | @DavidPostill, I edited my question to get rid of all of the "overboard" tone. Thanks for the input! | |
| Aug 29, 2017 at 2:50 | comment | added | CBruce | I seriously apologize Ramhound. I was at my wits end with the problem I was having - (because if I can't work, I don't get paid) - and my frustration spilled over into my comment. I didn't know about Meta at the time or I would have come here first to figure things out. I'll get myself over to the forum and look at your input and see what I can do to edit my question up correctly. | |

| Aug 28, 2017 at 22:54 | comment | added | CBruce | Also, David, when researching the down vote issue here on Meta - I saw hundreds of complaint comments and corresponding rebuttals. I neither ranted not complained about the down vote system above. I merely tried to provide a thoughtful solution that might make StackExchange better. I love the platform - and I hate to see so many people upset with it. | |

| Aug 28, 2017 at 22:38 | comment | added | CBruce | I'm sorry David. I did not intend it to be a rant. I WAS frustrated because of something that was causing great instability in my system. I did do a lot of searching and found hundreds of similar questions on the internet. I explained that research and my efforts to resolve my issue up to that point. And I finally came to the best resource that i know of to ask for help. The down vote with no explanation was not helpful at all. And my self answer turned out to be helpful to other users when I went back and provided that information to other users with similar problems. | |
| Aug 28, 2017 at 22:31 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | That question look like a rant to me. You don't provide enough information to even start diagnosing your problem. And an answer that says "don't run explorer" is not really an answer, even if you accept it yourself. | |
| Aug 28, 2017 at 22:25 | comment | added | CBruce | David, it started with my question: superuser.com/questions/1244459/… ... it got down voted, but I have no idea why. How am I supposed to fix it or ask it better? Or did someone just not like it? I'm not a mind-reader, so I have no idea what the issue was. | |
| Aug 28, 2017 at 22:16 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | Perhaps you need to improve your questions and answer so they are not downvoted? | |
| Aug 28, 2017 at 22:14 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | "Have the system automatically add a comment for every anonymous down vote that simply states, "down vote with no explanation - @anonymous" What would this tell you that the current behaviour doesn't? | |
| Aug 28, 2017 at 22:10 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | Oh, and by the way I lost my keys | |
| Aug 28, 2017 at 22:08 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | "some users don't feel it is important to explain why they are down voting a question" Why should they? Downvoting is for questions that are "unclear/not useful/don't show any research effort. The OP can edit the question as appropriate. | |
