What do you think about 1.0 votation without replies?

What do you think about 1.0 votations without replies? Personally I hate who makes those things.:mad: If you don't like a message or a answer then vote 1.0 and reply to make the author know the reason of such a bad scoring (if you give good vote, probably he is able to figure out the reason...:). I know I'll get a lot of silently 1.0 for this post, but I'm not scared about...:-D

1 voters are just shy ;P

When voting on submitted code articles then I agree 100%. If you care enough to vote... explain yourself to the author. Here in the wild and wooly Soapbox or the kid sister friendly Lounge... not so much. I rarely vote and even more rarely care if someone votes me down.

I will vote a five if your post is well reasoned or makes me laugh out loud. I almost never vote a one. I will occasionally vote a 3 or 4 just so that the averages aren't always so even. :-D

I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended. I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended. Dave

I've modified a couple of my posts because of this. I think they mostly come from the people that don't like the author.

Meh. For new users, perhaps it's worth explaining why their posts are seen as inane / trolling / rude. Once. After that, vote 'em down as a heads-up to other readers - the author is too dense to benefit from feedback.

Partially I agree with you. I think that the most of them have a dogmatic and a rather incompetent approach (the competent ones, usually answers). :)

Well, I have to admit the scope of my previous post wasn't so clear... There are, of course, many inane / trolling / rude posts on CP and, I agree, those must be disapproved. On the other hand, I was complaining about voting down technical answers without replying to (if the answer is wrong, incorrect, hazardous, ... then voting 1.0 is fine but you should also motivate the vote, to make the author know his mistake; another scenario comes int play when if you vote 1.0 only on your personal opinion basis: IMHO this is wrong by itself and anyway, you have, at least, to make the author what your opinion is. :-D

I agree with you. The voting system is used to rate the author, not the post. That is why some platnuim member can get voted like 2 fives just for posting "me too" or something.

If he's trolling, I just vote 1.0 to get the message below deletion threshold.

I think that "vote" is both a verb and a noun. There is no need to add a "(a)tion" ending to something that is already a noun.

I think so too. I am surprised at how people expect 1 votes to be justified by a comment, but don't mind people voting 5s (whether on articles or on posts).

OK grammar teacher: I have to admit my English is bad (Maybe being Scottish you've a little advantage on me). Anyway this definitely is NOT the point of my posting. :)

I'm surprised at your surprise :confused: (you're a clever guy :-D). If people votes 5 your message or article there is a high probability that you already know why. On the other hand if someone votes 1 then, perhaps, you've made a mistake or missed something and hence, you may appreciate the explaining comment. I think it is not a difficult concept. :)
