You would think that a 10 was better than a 2, wouldn't you? But it really does not seem that way.

In my posts I have lots of 10-15 posts that I regard as objectively far worse than other posts which are 1-3. But I understand the votes since the first answered points that were meant for beginners, while the latter was meant for more advanced people. I think both fit on this site. I think both are worthwhile. But the more accessible point will be more popular regardless of my notions of quality.

The lower rated ones may be more rewarding to go back and mull over though, and I know some have done exactly that.

  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
