| Aug 5 at 18:57 | comment | added | mickmackusa | If downvotes were so self-evident, we wouldn't have thousands of comments asking for clarity flagged as NLN then deleted. The numbers are so high that comments that mention "downvote" are insta-deleted with a single NLN flag. Hiding the complaints is not resolving the requests for clarity. | |
| Feb 13 at 6:06 | comment | added | CPlus | No downvote is unexplained. When I downvote without leaving a comment why, the reason is either self-evident (such as already being specified by a close reason) or is explained by the downvote tooltip: This question does not show any research effort; it is unclear or not useful | |

"Idea" is used here as a short form of feature requests. I'd also like to keep the syllable count low.

improve prose in title. Ideas cannot suggest; they *are* what is suggested.

| Nov 4, 2021 at 13:07 | comment | added | mkinson | None of the points addressed by the answer below cover the idea of using a set list of generalized down-vote reasons, which would be anonymously provided to the OP. If it's not too big if a headache for someone to provide close reasons, then why should it be considered one for a down-vote? And the assertion that an up-vote should require a comment too is silly. There's only one reason to up-vote, while there may be multiple reasons to down-vote. | |

| Mar 19, 2019 at 16:53 | comment | added | user400654 | Are such questions just deleted here? i don't see this question come up very often here, and don't see anything in search related to it since january... and that one was closed as a duplicate of Encouraging people to explain downvotes because it was a feature request. Feels like FAQ for the sake of having an FAQ rather than because it's needed. | |
