Old obsolete answers can still be good for historical reasons or for older versions of software that a bunch of people could be using. If an answer had not many upvotes, it could lead to people thinking it's wrong, but obsolete =/= wrong. If it has a lot of upvotes then downvoting is useless as the author could be inactive/busy and the author won't be encouraged to take it down anytime soon due to 5:1 ratio either. | |
| May 7 at 4:14 | comment | added | Vylix | @Destroy666 "Voting down, also known as "casting downvotes", is how the community indicates which questions and answers are least useful." Obsolete answer is not useful, so that is a reason to downvote. Downvote is never about the answerer or answerer's fault, but purely whether the answer is useful or not, which obsolete answer is not useful. | |
