Thank you for your reply.

Yes, I mention the private message in the chat and also mentioned that though it exists - nobody uses it in this case, or at least infrequently.

Grammatical errors can cause it, as well as random down-voters or people who just plain don't like you — hopefully those are rare. My point is that some people are not trying to be constructive with their votes.

I agree. My hope is that those who are trying to be constructive will have a simple (and thus hopefully easy and readily used) way to provide feedback. If it is easy enough to use, then generally those who care about the quality of community would use it. If it succeeds and becomes that way, then it will be a little easier to see if I was downvoted for being stupid - or because somebody else is having a bad day - or because I managed to offend somebody.

Update: I guess in the same vein it would be useful to have a similar system for ++ votes. Often it is hard to tell if I was up voted for saying something worth while or because somebody was having a good day, or because I replied to a popular node. Those that cared to respond with why they ++ voted would have more merit with me than those that just up vote. I think it provides better feedback to new and old monks alike. But again -- it has to be very simple for it too work.

my @a=qw(random brilliant braindead); print $a[rand(@a)];

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
