in reply to It's a fine line, but Moderation is not Polling

For the record, I believe the post you must have ++'ed was mine. There are several reasons as to why I am not discouraged by the fact that somebody felt the need to give me a negative vote there: one, I didn't mention the 'improve code' section idea until afterwards in an update. I can't really recall, but I think the negative vote was there before I did the update. Second of all, each person has the right to vote how they see fit. Every person has set for themselves a different level as to what defines 'a great post', what is a 'good post', what is a 'neither here nor there' post, what is a 'meager post', and what is a 'horribly content-less post'. On top of this, each user draws the line as to where a ++ or a -- is given. Some give a ++ vote to the 'great post' and 'good post', while not using votes for anything else. Others give ++ for great, good, and neither here nor there posts, while giving -- to meager and content-less ones. Then you have the people who even ++ meager posts, because they are firm believers that any contribution is a worthy one. True, some people might walk around throwing --'s at everything, just ignore them. Besides, if I lost 1-2 XP for that post, I'm sure it won't damage me horribly in the long run :)
