| Nov 2, 2013 at 0:32 | comment | added | Dennis Meng | @GrumpyParsnip Well, not exactly. It's not like you aren't supposed to downvote poor questions on meta, it's just that downvotes on meta sites also signify disagreement. | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 14:46 | comment | added | Cheerful Parsnip | @Sawarnik: I'd like to point out that downvotes on meta questions are not the same as downvotes on regular questions. On meta, they are supposed to indicate disagreement with the question's premise rather than being a sign that the question itself is poor. | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 14:15 | comment | added | JRN | Also note that upvotes and downvotes on meta don't affect your reputation. | |

| Nov 1, 2013 at 13:34 | comment | added | user1729 | @Sawarnik Ah, okay. I didn't spot that. Then I agree that a downvote is not inappropriate. | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 13:32 | comment | added | Sawarnik | @user1729 In this particular case, the user was inactive for months, and had done nothing other than that answer. That is why I had refrained from doing what you said. | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 13:29 | comment | added | user1729 | The point is that downvotes should be carefully administered. For example, in the answer you link to the answerer is a new user and so I personally feel that an explanation of how to improve their answer would have been more constructive than a downvote. | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 13:26 | comment | added | Sawarnik | Ya, because as you said I wasn't aware of the rules [a bit silly in my opinion], so this was more like a surprise, but as you may have read, my real question was what you said. I am more surprised by the blast of downvotes on this and delete this once I get a proper answer, which more or less Arthur has given. | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 13:22 | comment | added | Lord_Farin | Ah, so you meant to ask "What is the reasoning behind downvotes costing 1 reputation?" That's not what I read. | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 13:20 | comment | added | Sawarnik | @Lord Farin Fine, but my question is "why"? | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 13:18 | comment | added | Lord_Farin | -1. You really should've tried the help pages first. | |
