Hmmm - that's been a high rep downvote you got there. If it wasn't high rep, my upvote would have had a lot more of an effect.

It is not a Thing for my account. I observe all these for a lot of other low rep mems; which will be treated bad....sometimes very bad

Don't worry about it - a lot of the longer term members are just as annoyed with the petty downvoting.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to post this to the correct forum[^]?

The point I am making is that if you really want to see unhelpful and immature downvoting visit that site.
I find code project to have the most helpful and friendly coding community on the web(that I have found so far).
If you read the stickies at the tops of pages regarding how to use the forums you will hardly ever get unhelpful comments.
Your ENglish does not need to be perfect, however it does need to be good enough in order to communicate your question and ideas. If your question or ideas are poor, irrespective of your language ability, many other people will point this out.
If you word your questions well then I would be very surprised to see you get unhelpful remarks.
Also why stick around if you don't like the place? Just go somewhere else that suits you better - that's what I did on stackoverflow, I simply removed my user after I realised that all of my answers were being criticised for petty reasons.

Agree 100%.
I post there from time to time, and Its always relevant and useful, and within minutes some jackass downvotes it with no reason.

What is 'rep', could you define what you mean by 'rep'?
I come to code project because it has some of the best resources and people on the web for .NET coding. Also the lounge is a good place to hange out as the humour and interests of those on the lounge broadly match mine.

This is EXACTLY why rep is meaningless in any online forum.

It has been for many years now. I don't know why O bother coming here really, it certainly isn't for technical info, stackoverflow is way better.

You might have a point.
On the other hand, it's a shame how many low rep users don't even make an effort to write good questions!
Sometimes it's just a copy of a homework assignment without further remarks.
Sometimes it's written in the native language of the poster while this is obviously an English website.
Sometimes there's just not a lot at all.
Sometimes the poster is probably trying really hard, but sometimes our best isn't good enough and the post as a whole is still incomprehensible gibberish.
Sometimes these low rep users just don't make sense! They'll ask you, in proper English, "How can I make the C# Linux Drupal work on my Assembler Android iPad?"
Sometimes it seems as though the poster just doesn't know how to use the internet at all!
I've seen articles posted by these members that's nothing more than the template that's generated for you (literally!)...
Having seen hundreds, or maybe even thousands, of those posts does test the patience of some high rep users.
Luckily, I still see more than a fair share of newbies from around the globe who do make it as respectable members of the community though!

Yes yes, there are a lot of questions which are really stupid, I agree. I don't mean these..... and I also don't like to post the links of today's deleted (but reasonable - even easy - questions), this not to blame the person who deleted them.

Because you, low reputation members, deserve it!
Just kidding, of course.

This is, in my opinion a major flaw of the Q&A, you are perfectly right. More often than not, deleting a question is pointless.
Quote: Sorry, but English is -in most (?) cases- not the mother tongue of the questioner!
Look at how many times questions were deleted today, simply because you were not correctly written in English ... and yes sometimes also a little bit poor explained…but please…
Again, you are right (possibly because I am not mother tongue too?).
On the overall, I simply agree with you.

Not sure whether a normal member can, even with high rep.
0x01AA wrote: and yes sometimes also a little bit poor explained
I'd say that pointing that out is more valuable than getting the answer to a single question. Someone who asks poor questions will always get poor responses.
0x01AA wrote: That a question be repeated is probably the normal!
No, it is not. Come and repeat the question to my face, just to see the full effect. If you can spare the time to spam the board with your question, instead of researching it, then you are effectively pushing someone who offers spare time to do your work.

Well, hang on a minute. You're effectively accusing them of having no integrity and now you're protecting it? This seems to be a very convenient way of you having a good old whine without the need for any actual evidence to support your argument.

Are you sure they were actually deleted by a single member? I seem to recall there's a slight issue with the message, when three users flag the same question for different reasons, and only the last user is shown on the "closed by" message.
AFAIK, only protectors and staff have the big red "delete question" button.
