You post a question about calculus in the discussion section and get downvoted, since it is "off topic" - ask on MathOverflow. A question about biology? Downvoted, if it is not an ev-psych speculation. Physics? Downvoted, even if it is of the most popular QM-interpretational sort. A puzzle? Downvoted.

Do you have examples of this sort of stuff so I can go vote it up?

For example there are many posts tagged "physics", most of which hover around zero. A moderately interesting puzzle stands now at -7.
