| Sep 16, 2015 at 16:50 | comment | added | CoffeDeveloper | The point of my question here is exactly that, if people posting questions would just be serially downvoted, then why keeping the tag? Also here seems I'm downvoted just because of opinions of people, I created some discussion with some value, but I'm even downvoted on "Meta", to me that's trolling ^^ I posted in past my bad questions and got downvoted without complaining but now I think is different, that drives me (a pretty active user) away from the community because I'm downvoted based on the fact "someone doesn't like" something that is anyway adding value and causing thinking | |

I can't edit, thus am commenting: Please use the syntax: [tag:identify-this-movie] for tags. Backticks are only meant for code. [tag:foo] -> foo.

| Sep 4, 2015 at 17:25 | comment | added | CoffeDeveloper | There are plenty downvoted questions with that tag, most of them are of good quality ^^. | |
| Sep 4, 2015 at 17:14 | comment | added | Catija | Questions should never be downvoted simply because someone doesn't like the movie... only because the quality of the question is lacking... | |

| Sep 4, 2015 at 17:11 | comment | added | CoffeDeveloper | How can a question that gives enough detail to identify a movie "be bad"? it's bad because the movie suck? So possibly nothing can be done for blind downvoters even if the drive users away? | |
| Sep 4, 2015 at 17:10 | comment | added | Napoleon Wilson Mod | We won't instruct any users on how to vote, though. Even valid questions can be bad, a downvote is not a close-vote. Adapting the tag wiki excerpt to encourage better questions is not a bad idea. But we won't tell users they're not allowed to vote. | |
| Sep 4, 2015 at 17:08 | comment | added | Catija | They don't comment because they're afraid to answer... they comment because your question isn't very detailed and they're not sure it's correct... there are likely many films that fit the description. If their comment is correct, tell them that and ask them to post it as an answer so that you can accept it. | |
| Sep 4, 2015 at 17:06 | comment | added | CoffeDeveloper | Well, I just randomly opened ID questions, but I'm sure questions are mostly downvoted, so I may be wrong on answers, but I'm pretty sure on questions being downvoted | |

| Sep 4, 2015 at 17:03 | comment | added | Catija | Answers on ID questions are very rarely downvoted... I'm not sure where you're seeing that happen. The only time I ever see answers downvoted is when they're very obviously wrong. | |
