I know what you mean! There was one question I asked; got about 4 answers and all were good. Went back the next day to check out more answers, and everyone had been given a thumbs down! It made me cross so I put a P.S. message about it under "additional details" telling whoever was doing it, to back off.
"It's MY question," I said, "So I'll do the rating, thank you!"
The point is, these thumbs down were given by someone who obviously had no interest in my question nor the answers - just a random visitor.
Sometimes an answerer will read through previous answers and give them a low rating because they think the answers were wrong. I somewhat disagree with this too. Maybe in factual questions, yes. But so many questions here ask for opinions ... you can't give another person a low rating simply because you think differently.
I think the right to give a "Thumbs Up" should not be changed, but there ought to be some way to control a "Thumbs Down".
Why not do away with it altogether?
I know sometimes there are answers which are very rude, sarcastic or just stupid. In those cases, there should be another way to control them - maybe a way to delete them and cost the poster the 2 points. That would make people think twice about being offensive. And I think that privilege should belong only to the asker ... except then they might get abused!
So, o.k. What about limiting a thumbs down to the asker until or if the question goes to the vote. Then the community can join in?
It's a difficult weakness on the site.
I remember the first time I ever got a thumbs down; it really hurt. Now it's so commonplace, I ignore it.
But when I ask a question, I feel more passionate about it. I hate it when someone has visited and given all my answerers a low rating! Especially since often the person who answered believes the asker gave them that thumbs down, for a perfectly good answer!
Sorry, it still makes me fume! Grrr!
I can't believe it is kids! How can they get to Level 2 so quickly?
I have this strange feeling that just as some people here think they get points for a star, they will get points for rating.

I was wondering what was going on. I've seen questions where every answer got a thumbs down, and not a single thumbs up. Like they just go in to give a thumbs down and leave without reading the answers.
