@TFM don't you think the [question] you specified will qualify for This question does not show enough research effort to attract down-votes? I'm unable to see when the question was posted... Looks like it was edited in 2015

| Jan 25, 2013 at 4:13 | comment | added | Canadian Luke | Although I can't find the question anymore, I did edit a question that was down voted to -6, answered the question, and all of a sudden: close votes stopped, I got lots of upvotes, and many of the downvotes were removed! Downvoting is good if the question doesn't need closing, but still doesn't show any effort of trying. | |

| Jan 24, 2013 at 8:32 | comment | added | TFM | There are no "dumb" questions. There are "poorly formulated" or "poorly written" questions. Check for example this question. Everybody over the age 30 would probably know what the A: and B: drives are for, right? So the question may sound "dumb", but it does NOT matter, as long as you can ask it nicely. The 500+ up-votes the question has gotten is a fine proof of it. | |

| Jan 24, 2013 at 2:15 | comment | added | random Mod | It's possible to think a question not useful, but not close it because it doesn't meet any close reasons | |
| Jan 24, 2013 at 1:59 | comment | added | Keltari | yes, in addition to them. As i stated in the question, the OP can update the question to meet the requirements, but the down-votes dont change. | |
| Jan 24, 2013 at 1:45 | comment | added | random Mod | In addition to the possible reasons mentioned on tooltip when you hover over the downvote? | |
