					StackOverFlow and the Downvote Paranoia
 
 I've been more active than my usual in SO for sometime now and I noticed this behavioral pattern between new questions and badge thirsty flaggers/downvoters, back in the early 2010s the fastest gun in the west used to reply with a correct answer, now the early replies are mostly complaints about formatting or how it's a duplicate of a totally different question. This is a result of wanting to keep the quality high, understood. But you can always edit questions with poor grammar and/or formatting. But I think it gets too spoopy for new users to post an innocent question, or an answer for that matter. It discourages them to learn.14

					I wonder if stackoverflow downvoters are here on devrant and can explain all this hate on each and every junior question2

					I'm sure that there is a special kind of hell for people who downvote questions on StackOverflow without even adding a comment or trying to edit the question itself.
 I don't understand what the fuck is wrong with people.1

					Serial downvoters who love to suck joy out of souls and knock little kids ice cream cones onto the cold, hard, pavement that is life.
