I have downloaded both and they are valid zip files. They do each contain some strange HTML file but I think you can ignore them.

If you right-click and "Save tagret as.." you won't get the files. You have to open the links (or open in a new tab if you don't want to get away from the article), it will show a downloading page and then actual file will be downloaded.
Note: If you're using any download acceleration tools such as FDM, they sometimes create such issues

The question you answered was deleted, meaning all answers (since they belong to the question) get marked as deleted too.

Somebody closing or deleting a question doesn't affect your points, if you got points for answering it then you will not lose the points when it is deleted (more accurately called closed). It will also still show up in your profile as answered and still have the links, but when you click it then it says its been closed or deleted.

..but why is a vote of 3 stars to an answer in Q&A considered DOWNVOTING?
It really puts people of from submitting answers at all. Nobody wants to have their answer downvoted, and I'm not sure that the original posters know that 3 is downvoting as well.
What about 4 stars? is that considered downvoting as well (haven't had the opportunity to check)?

There are some 10 million members here, some of whom spend their time adding downvotes or neutrals to questions, answers etc., for no discernible reason. As long as we have a voting system this will happen. Ask yourself the question: what is the net effect on you of downvotes?

It's not that - it's the principle. It's just that I reckon 3 is neutral (the CP used to do so as well in the "old" days"). And I THINK that most OP's do the same...
I was just wondering the reason that it has suddenly become negative?!?!?

Sure, but how many people do you think, out of the 10 million, actually care about that? Those of us who use the voting system responsibly cannot control those who don't. And, as I said above, why waste time worrying about it?

Sorry for being curious. Never knew that was a crime before. Also thought that somebody would know. Guess not. But why not just admit that then?

Sorry, who said it was?

Admit what? I was trying to explain that certain people get a thrill out of down voting perfectly reasonable responses. In an open forum it's something you just have to live with. And, again, what does it really matter, does it actually make any difference to your life or what the rest of us think of you?

I give up. I ask in the East and you answer in the West. Don't know why, because I know that you're far from stupid, but I really don't care. Why don't we just call it a weekend and meet back here on Monday morning, nice and rested...???

You haven't offended me. It's just that you completely ignore the question I asked and just insist that it is irrrelevant. It might be, but that doesn't answer the question.

I can't speak for Richard but the thread sounds to me like he might have misinterpreted your posting to be just another tired rant about the voting system Or, he might have been simply trying to explain that the voting system itself is much used and abused and it really does not matter anyway so a "3" vote is irrelevant to anything.
In either case, I think that everyone should just take off for the weekend and try enjoy some time away from the drudgery

OK, I'm a bit wider awake today and see where I went wrong; my apologies.
I think it is all to do with the weighting of votes, and a 3 vote does not always come out as neutral depending on the reputation level of the voter.
Use the best guess

Johnny J. wrote: vote of 3 considered DOWNVOTING
I get you. I was surprised at this too. I would expect a 3 to be neutral, neither adding to or taking away, but I have received negative points for a 3 vote also.

Does it not depend on the weight of the users? i.e. if you have a 5-vote from a newbie and then a PoH or OG comes along and votes you 3, this actually gives you an overall of 2.25 or something, so is in effect a down-vote?

Johnny J. wrote: What about 4 stars? is that considered downvoting
No:
- 1 or 2 stars: downvoting
- 3 stars: considered downvoting, but perhaps it's a better idea to consider it as a neutral vote
- 4 or 5 stars: upvoting
|
|
|
|

3 stars is meant to be neutral and no points are associated with it.
Can you point out where we say "downvoting"? I'll get the wording changed.
