Old posts and answers need protection?
@harrymc: Wow, this post has grown huge. Yeah, it sounds reasonable to put some guidelines about when downvoting is appropriate into the help center. I'm not too familiar with the current content though. Maybe some page covers it already.

What is the definition of "primarily opinion-based" on SU?
"In my world…" already shows you why it's opinion-based.

Clarification for Reviewing Short Posts
@Twisty: Just always remember, when you're reviewing, you're battling a machine. Failing reviews is no big deal, it doesn't mean you've done something wrong, maybe the machine just made a bad decision. If you get review banned for failing too many, you should definitely bring it up. But don't get discouraged and don't let a failed audit have too much of an impact on your judgement. Review your decision, but it's fine to come to the conclusion that the machine was at fault. Btw, thanks for taking the time to review posts to begin with :)

Clarification for Reviewing Short Posts
@Twisty: It's not a good answer, as it doesn't describe how to do what the user suggests doing. So, yes, I would probably suggest deleting. But, don't take my word for it. You'll probably get a much better sense of what is a good post the longer you take part in this community. Posts from the starting days of Super User are often not up to the higher standards we have today.

Clarification for Reviewing Short Posts
@Twisty: It is simply not a good answer for many reasons. Guidelines are just that; guidelines. They aren't rules. I honestly don't see how the post attempts to answer the question. Cases where a single sentence is a valid answer are rare.

@harrymc: If I extrapolate whatever stats I have now, it wouldn't really make any difference. If I had 10 times the posts and 10 times the downvotes, then I'd probably also have 10 times the rep. So I don't see the relevance. You have, by far, the most rep in this community. Hearing such a concern coming from you makes it really hard to take seriously. That being said, if it was coming from someone with only 50 rep and 2 posts on the site, my response would be exactly the same.
