My highest-scored comment was also my worst. (It wouldn't have been awful in a different context; but I might not have gotten so many up-votes in an appropriate context.)
My comment just above, though, sets a new personal speed record. It was up for about 10 seconds before someone down-voted it.
I am curious as to why they down-voted it. It would be nice to require people to give a brief (possibly anonymous; possibly not displayed by default) explanation when they downvote something.
A ranking preference is expressed as a vote. An explanation is expressed as a reply. In the system as it stands, these are two very discrete actions. How often and in what circumstances do people use them in combination? What would be the effects of explicitly linking them?
