since upvotes have power now - https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/purpose-of-the-arrows.3473237/ - Downvotes are a necessary way to stop the wrong answer being marked as right. We tested it today and as soon as a post hits 5, system marks question as best answer. Downvoting the question doesn't unmark it.
You have no control over how someone else will react to your post, so just go for it. Share your knowledge
By the way, I need to ask one question. It's totally OFF TOPIC though........But I will ask it here instead. Can we post MEMES here over at Tom's Hardware ? I mean the funny/decent ones, like shown below, not bad ones ?
Those were pretty funny memes tho!
That applies to us as well.But, that's irrelevant, as the forum software doesn't allow you to do it anyway (at least not for we mere mortals). If I go to one of my own posts and hover my mouse pointer over either the up or down arrow I am informed I do not have permission to do this.
Well, if things are to be consistent, it should be just as big a "no no" to down vote one's own answer as it would be to up vote it.
I think one would just have to post an update as to why you think your solution might be wrong, or not the best, and hope that interested readers would be most likely to read through past the selected solution to get more information.I got a better question: Can anyone think of a reason why you can't downvote yourself?
Say you answer a thread and 4 or so people upvote your reply but you don't think you deserve the solution. why can't you downvote yourself?
I asked this in discord and one of the mods said he would follow me around and downvote everything I say... such a great friend
I wasn't looking for volunteers, just curious.
interested readers would be most likely to read through past the selected solution to get more information.
That, right there! I have never trusted a "best answer" to definitely be the best answer. People mark all kinds of things as "best answer" that, if you continue reading, definitely isn't.
Reading all the way through any technical topic is an essential skill any online forum user needs to develop.
Now of course you are assuming the knowledge level of the voters and all that, but it works on a general premise.
