| Jul 20, 2011 at 16:33 | comment | added | mmyers | @KCotreau: Read again the part where it says "err on the side of clearing as valid since the user was trying to be genuinely helpful". The point random and nhinkle are making is that you are not being genuinely helpful. You're bringing moderators in on things that you could handle yourself just by clicking a different button. | |
| Jul 20, 2011 at 16:13 | comment | added | KCotreau | and doesn't that take away from the quality? You, yourself, admit they were not invalid. Your moderators should base it on fact, not their subjective opinion how flags should be applied. If not, do away with flagging and open closing to a lesser reputation. I see you are 40: I don't know if you have changed with age, but the older I get, the less tolerant I am of such inequity. When I was younger, naiveté let me believe the world was more fair. | |

As a business owner since 1989, I can say that I don't know that I would want to project any negative aspects on my business. I read comments from people on the site, and I am far from the only one, who are not fans of the downvotes. People like me, who answer, and the people, who ask the questions are your customers, and I know that I would never consider treating my customers in any negative way. I am constantly hit with "it preserves the quality of the site", but there is no proof of that, but there is WAY too much negativity here, | |
