Who are the numbnuts who voted down

try88's appeal for help? try88 was asking a legit lounge question and was perfectly understandable with a little effort on the readers part. Stand up and explain yourselves, it seems pretty weird to me.

Not you. I understood your question perfectly well :) Ryan

i see thank you ; but i have am another question to ask you is the score important for my request? 路漫漫其修远兮，吾将上下而求索。

When you receive many low votes it turns your message grey, many people will skip a greyed out message because they don't need to see why someone was downgraded, they just assume that it was a valid grade. If you receive lots of high grades it highlights it and makes it stand out, some people in a hurry will look at those messages to see why it was so popular. It doesn't always affect getting a question answered, but it can. I am curious either way, I will look to see why it was graded high, or low to see what was said when I don't have time to read every message. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

Hello Try88 :) I wasn't being critical of you, I was being critical of the people who voted your request for help down. I was feeling angry on your behalf, you asked a very valid question in an appropriate place and I was angry and confused why people felt the need to tag your message with a lower vote. Most of us will read any message despite the vote for the very reason we saw with your original post which is that people vote messages lower for no apparent reason sometimes. I apologize if I gave you any confusion, I just don't think it's right for people to vote down this kind of post without an explanation of why they did it.

When I see a grey message I assume someone expressed his/her opinion on any topic and got voted down by people who disagree.

They should be first up against the wall when the revolution comes. :-) Can't believe that people voted him down for an appeal for help. Good for you for standing up for him.

John, I would like to express my respect to you and many kind people like you in this forum who stand up for newbies, and especially CPians from countries where English is not their day to day language. IMHO, Code Project is an International web site for developers where programming languages and English are used extensively to illuminate ideas. English is indeed very important here but let us not forget that the good intention of the author to contribute article in a programming language of his/her choice and in so doing enables us to have insight into another working mind has been, is, will and should always be, the essence of this site. Contributors coming from non-English countries, whist their peculiar English might sound strange to many CPian, they might someday contribute excellent article useful to us all. The fact that it takes extra efforts for the foreign writer to put the idea down in English, should be appreciated more by all readers of the article of the writer's sincerity to contribute. Those that ridiculing and mocking the contributor's bad English seems like having a good pastime (of vending some streams out of their discontent life), yet in so doing they are exposing the worst of themself in this prestine developers' site. To people like John and other gentle CPians, developer like me, coming from countries where English is not our mother tongue, find solace and truly encouraged to contribute. My sincere appreciation to all gentle CPians. Let us make Code Project a better place for us all. Developing in Heaven :o)
Programmers are so good at debugging that they just don't know how to say sorry in the real world. If you find anything I say here is wrong then show me the line and I will fix it. See? -

True, but it might also mean he asked a programming question in the lounge or otherwise broke a rule.

I don't know, English is the only language I know, and as I often say, my English Teachers long past would disagree with even that. You might find me teasing someone for a particularly freudian slip, but not on grammer or spelling, 1st, 2nd or 3rd language being English doesn't matter. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.
