those with high rep is rather ambigious/subjective. At what point does someone get considered high rep? High enough to have the vote down privilege (125 rep)?

| Jun 13, 2012 at 6:13 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | Many of my downvotes are for when users didn't research, which is a requirement right on the tooltip of the downvote button: This question does not show any research effort, it is unclear or not useful. I've reverted these when users explained what they'd researched (i.e. tried it but failed). This is a site where experts answer questions, and we'd rather not explain the same basic things every tutorial on the web explains in the first paragraph. It's lazy and ultimately disrespectful towards answerers. If you don't take the 5 minutes to research, why should we, to answer your question? | |

| Jun 13, 2012 at 4:05 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | I have no idea why people seem to think high rep users vote down questions (or answers). If it dosen't belong, i vote to close. If its salvageable, we try to salvage it. I'd much rather comment than downvote, and when i do downvote, i comment for why. | |
