| Aug 6, 2011 at 16:27 | comment | added | Tamara Wijsman | Your flags are invalid because you are trying to bypass the built-in vote to close system. There is no flawed logic, you are just not using the voting to close system for when questions should be closed; we are a community and we thus should vote to close questions together rather than to let such actions be decided by single users. Closing questions is in most cases not an unusual action in our community, and there thus is really no need to explicitly flag them. Of course your specific examples might be valid, but your repetitive close flagging gave the mods the incentive to deny flags... | |

| Jul 19, 2011 at 8:02 | comment | added | DMA57361 Mod | @surfasb downvotes on all meta sites are generally accepted to mean "I don't agree with this" or "I don't want this feature implimented", etc as well as the usual reasons. They do not have the same negative connotations with respect to quality. I realise the tool-tip doesn't reflect this, but that's an ongoing problem. | |

You are trying to decrease the frequency of a behavior by adding an adverse stimulus. Considering the votes are about improving the medium of communication and not the topic of the communication, downvoting because you don't agree turns this into a political forum. | |

| Jul 19, 2011 at 5:53 | comment | added | slhck | Uhm, you know that there's a button that allows one to downvote on Stack Exchange sites, so I exercise my right to do so if I don't agree with the OP. | |
