You're Welcome! Always happy to help!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

This question has been asked and rejected too many times. Downvotes do you no harm, live with them.

I have not downvoted any of your comments. I am merely pointing out that this happens and you have to accept it.
|
|
|
|

k lets see "Quote: Richard MacCutchan "
|
|
|
|
|
What is that supposed to mean? You think anyone who points out how this site works is downvoting you?
|
|
|
|
|
I believe OP totally mis-read your responses to him. It's a language barrier here.
|
|
|
|
|
Possibly, but I think he got the message eventually.
|
|
|
|
|
Richard is a high rep user. If he downvoted you, you would lose a lot more than that.

i understand Quote: Pete O'Hanlon but any readers should also think once before downvoting things or answers , and should respect if person who is answering is trying or spending some more time than his own daily hectic schedule ...
It just for a cause i started helping people if i get demotivation .... how could i steer ahead and give solution to people in need ?
|
|
|
|
|
Is there a reason you quoted my name?
|
|
|
|
|
nopes i do not have any wrong intention i just tagged to state i have replied to your comment ..
|
|

There's no need to do that. I get a notification when there is a reply.

Neither of the two people who responded in this thread are saying your down-votes are justified. They are just stating that there is no real solution to the problem. You've got to learn to live with it. In the long run, the large community here on CP is fair enough that the blind down-voters have very little overall impact on someone's rep scores. It's subjective as to how valuable rep scores are other than being a nice psychological boost to people who spent a lot of their time helping the community, but even assuming they have some virtual tangible value, the fair votes vastly out-number the unfair ones.

I'm pretty sure it's been asked before, but I for one would be happy to receive notifications whenever an article that I've bookmarked has been updated.
As an added premium it would be even nicer if the author could check whether it's a bugfix, added functionality or updated contents. (or not check anything at all if it's a minor update or just a fixed typo)
And then the user can check what he/she wants to subscribe to.

I think it could be nice

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yes. This one's on the list, and has been for a while.

The net ratings of the original question/post // not broken out in detail here
+ ratio of "accepted" solutions to posted "solutions" * factor1
+ number of solutions where OP voted #5 * factor2
+ number of solutions where OP voted #4 * factor3
+ number of solutions where OP voted #3 * factor4
+ number of solutions where OP voted #2 * factor5
+ number of solutions where OP voted #1 * factor6
+ number of solutions where no one voted * factor7 (negative)
+ number of #5 votes (not by OP) * 5 * factor8
+ number of #4 votes (not by OP) * 4 * factor9
+ number of #3 votes (not by OP) * 3 * factor10
+ number of #2 votes (not by OP) * 2 * factor11
+ number of #1 votes (not by OP) * factor12
+ number of reports * factor13 // break-out by type of report ?
I invite you to imagine the "weightings" of the "factors" based on how you perceive both original post rating, and reputation rating of responders on QA as it is now, and consider: if you could re-design the rating system for QA, how would you set (or delete, or add to) the "factors."
Of course there are many potential factors left out here: suppose one is willing to "open the can of worms" of evaluating question-responders' behavior ?
If someone posts thirty solutions per day, does that mean something in terms of "quality" ? If someone posts thirty comments per day on the questions-asked trying to get the OP to clarify what they mean (I just raised my hand): does that mean something ?
If someone posts thirty solutions per day, almost all of which have one URL as their content, with no explanatory text: does that mean something ?
... and, so on ...

I used to write finite element simulations of rainfall, river and subsurface flow through porous materials which took into account dozens of variables and would in turn report things like runoff rate, erosion rate, saturation, turbidity and anything else you wanted.
The thing I learned really quickly, and to my advantage, is that the more knobs you have in your system the easier it is to get the answer you want to get.

Extrapolating from the "more knobs == more vulnerability to experimenter bias" hypothesis I would posit a complementary (in the sense of that word as used by Niels Bohr) hypothesis that fewer knobs might result in a greater increase of the potential for errors due to the fact that a minor error of adjustment of one of the fewer knobs could have a proportionally large effect on the outcome.
Of course, this is academic, and in "real" research you most often have a process of experimentation that (hopefully) converges on the "knobs" that have the most powerful explanatory power for the variance. And, the meaning of any "knob" value has to be weighted against the probability of "bad data."
Returning to Earth: my "take away" from this response is that you do not wish to consider, at this time, addressing the issue of what the "quality" in QA means. While not indifferent to that take-away, I can absorb it without digestive discomfort
I do think you should fly to Thailand to discuss this with me whilst on elephant-back asap.

I've been told, repeatedly, that discussing things on an elephant back is 37% more productive than it's closest alternative (which as we all know is "while hot-air ballooning"). They shipped out the last 2 elephants in Toronto some months ago and my productivity has now gone down a little over 37%.
I love an experiment. I really do. But I also love ensuring I don't build extremely complicated experiments while my patient users patiently, but with patience diminishing, wait for more mundane fixes and changes to be made.
cheers

My Aunt Sally told me that debating what the best brand of cutlery is with a surgeon doing triage while bombs were falling was pointless at best, and annoying at worst
But, "Aunt Sally taught me a lot of stuff … about life … some of it turned out to be true, and the … many … parts of what she taught me that turned out to be total lies … hey … is it … uhhh … hindsight … that I now think that going through a lot of living acting if those lies were honest-injun-truth … and then finding out those parts were lies … was good for me ?" [^].
cheers, Bill

For the past week, I've noticed CP slowness caused by waiting for dj9okeyxktdvd.cloudfront.net . The url seems constant and the problem occurs both at work and from home.
