    I think that every one should specify the reason for down voting the Answers of others, It should not be the case that anyone could come and just down vote others answers without being reasonable for it. This has happened to me that i do not know for which reason my answer is being down voted and by whom(At least specify the reason. So its a suggestion to have the reason to be specified compulsory by the person who is down voting the answers of other.

      The issue here is that we then end up with the noise from "reasons I don't like your answer" outweighing the focus of the page, which is to get an answer to a question. Maybe someone downvotes your anwswer - but that doesn't mean others won't upvote it, or that the person posting the question themselves won't find your answer useful.

        I understand your concern,but there should some way to get it on system. At least the person who posted the answer should be able to know that what is wrong with answer which is many times explained in comments but not all the time. He will be always in dillema that what went wrong.

          If it's not obvious why you have been downvoted, then chances are the person who did it is just playing the troll. Ignore it and move on, it doesn't hurt you.

              I also think like that simply downvoting not commenting anything whether is a mistake or error we can clear it next time,we can learn.If there is nothing like that is simply spam making CP a difficult environment for teaching and learning programing which affects all of us

                I know and i don't understand why code project is not working towards it, I see there are multiple queries raised to them in past and everywhere this is the answer. down votes are to say that you are answer is not good, But who will tell that what is not good about it. We are ready to accept the down vote but atleast that person should have enough knowledge to say that this wrong about your solution and this way you can work out or your soultion is not good because of this.. this.. reason. I see code project has put that ability in articles that voting lower than 3 requires a reason. But not for solutions, don't know why. Its kind of annoying that what went wrong with your answer and many people may feel demotivate to work on code project again. One more thing would i would bring up that down vote the way is built is not clear to all. Means there are persons who votes and gives 2 star they felt that that solution is fine but not too good to mark as excellent. so they vote for 2 star in a positive angle but you get a negative number in your reputation. :-D

                Mark the answer as accepted if that worked for you :). And for down-voters please specify the reason to improve the solution :).

                  I think most of the people vote like that.
