in thread Negative voting

I've already read through all the threads I could find on the topic. I'm not upset by negative votes. I know I won't get it right all of the time. It seems to me that comments on poor advice are much more helpful to current and future readers of a thread than anonymous, hidden negative votes, particularly for people starting out...

    It is what it is, sometimes you'll get feedback for why votes went one way or other, most times not. If you're trying to be helpful, and aren't a jerk about it, you'll garner positive votes pretty easily.

    I do remember something I thought was weird when I was new to the monastery, it seemed like I would instantly get one negative vote as soon as I posted, I never pursued how/why that was happening, but if that's what you're seeing, I think you can ignore it.

    Really, don't they answer the questions you posed?
