I look at enough questions when trying to figure out what to answer, so perhaps I could interact more with the ones that seem unanswerable. I like "welcoming," but I'm absorbing the problems it seems to create. I still think we can do a lot with perception without lowering standards or changing how we curate content. If we can improve that perception without changing anything about the way we downvote or close, why wouldn't we? It wouldn't solve everything. Nothing solves everything. We're thinking big when we should think small. | |

| Jun 30, 2019 at 12:10 | comment | added | Scott Hannen | @PeterMortensen I upvote. I downvote some, but not enough. I realize that withholding a downvote is a misguided way to be nice. And after getting a gold tag badge I discovered that my duplicate suggestions took immediate effect, and that freaked me out. I'm 100% on board with anonymous downvotes. It's what works. But I've also offered some suggestions on how we could make the perception of those downvotes a little bit friendlier without any change to how we use them. | |
