Downvotes

How do you, personally, deal with downvotes you get? I'm thinking of two situations *inarticulate growl* right now: this one and that. In both cases, I don't know the cause for the downvote *stamping with one foot on the ground*. This is turning me a little Grinch-ish for now. Despite the minimal amount of reputation points, it still has this negative sign on it *folding arms and bristling with anger*. Time for lunch with colleagues, maybe this will cheer me up again.

Ignore it. You can moan, and it will do no good. You can be rude about it, and it will do no good. Or you can just pretend it didn't happen, and it will do no good either, but at least your blood pressure will stay normal... I agree though - univotes without comment is cowardly, pointless and rude.

Big up. Some vote up, some vote down. If you're consistently getting :thumbsdown: then there may be something in the content of your posts. If you occassionally get :thumbsdown: then there may be a touchy subject some people don't like. If you get a whole swathe of unrelated posts all with a single :thumbsdown: then you've got yourself a pet troll.

Laugh. If I have said something that is controversial, I expect them. If it is a weird downvote, I will comment like "Downvoted because I dislike ...whatever" and move on.

Take a look at the downvoted post, and see if there is a reason for it. Did the guy leave a reason? If not, see if your post is (or could be taken as) rude or condescending. Did you correctly understand the post you were replying to? Did you make a mistake that made your answer inoperable? If there doesn't seem to be a good reason, let it go. CodeProject is quite clean but it's still the Internet and drive-by univoting is always going to happen.

don't know the cause for the downvote
Possibly because the VS one was in the wrong forum, and you started it off very creepily; "Hello experts"... That's the equivalent of posing in a gimp mask.

No apology needed. I care as much about CP rep points as I do about the program scheduling for Home and Away

I haven't been posting for too long, but there are some posts where I know I'll get 1-votes, it's just a question of how many. But there are some where I just have to go WTH? Sometime's it's not offensive or inaccurate, it's just seems like someone's having a bad day.

I never notice them. If I can, I answer the question and move on. Why bother hanging around to see what others think? That's what school kids do.
