Pretty much every intelligent question I've tried to ask of late gets downvotes, while silly technical issues get well received.įirstly, why is this? Is it that moderators are getting egoistic about their powers and like to close or "put on hold" questions as a kind of power display? Is it growing frustration with "noobs" who ask "silly questions" that "should be deleted"? Or is it just that programming is a tough job and makes once happy people into irritable people because they're facing horrid technical issues day in, day out? Now I don't have files of hard facts to prove anything apart from a growing feeling that Stack Overflow is becoming very negative of late.

Of late the tendency is to simply close or put on hold most questions, or downvote them, or make fun of the writing or the style. I've been using Stack Overflow for a few years, and initially most questions you asked got a positive reception: happy comments and answers, people that tried to help you out regardless of the way you worded it. ![]() It is not currently accepting new answers or interactions. This question and its answers are locked because the question is off-topic but has historical significance.
