| Jul 6, 2012 at 9:28 | comment | added | Bartosz Rakowski | I think, I am already commited :) | |
| Jul 6, 2012 at 7:40 | comment | added | jmort253 Mod | You make great points. Maybe comments will be enough to guide users. I think it's definitely worth trying that route first. Everyone can of course vote how they want to, so if downvotes seem inappropriate to you, can you commit to just making helpful comments when you see incomplete information? | |
| Jul 6, 2012 at 6:55 | comment | added | Bartosz Rakowski | I vote for valuable (whatever that means to me) answers. I downvote answers that lead to the negative effects or that are not written in a spirit of helping. I refuse to downvote incomplete answers as long as they bring something useful at all. It is not uncommon to observe that after couple of incomplete answers there arises one which collects and includes informations provided by other. Please remember, PMSE is growing because each of its users can have her question answered. Having expert answers is a secondary goal and can only be possible if other levels of expertise are allowed. | |
| Jul 5, 2012 at 23:14 | comment | added | jmort253 Mod | See your public profile at the very bottom right. Votes: (204 up/2 down) Could you commit to a downvote if you recognize that the material is missing important details or isn't thorough enough to help future visitors? (BTW you can vote for whatever reason you want as long as you're voting on the merits of the material and not the person. You can also remove downvotes if the person brings the material up to par) | |
| Jul 5, 2012 at 22:31 | comment | added | Bartosz Rakowski | Yes, although the tricky part is in sentence "that you don't agree with". On PMSE one can expect different management styles to meet. Answers embracing the Servant leadership style can meet with answers exhibiting the Directive leadership style. As long as I am aware of possible appliances of both styles - I won't probably downvote. | |

| Jul 5, 2012 at 22:05 | comment | added | jmort253 Mod | You're right! On Stack Overflow, Programmers SE, and other SE sites, we don't always ask for references, but those communities do a great job policing themselves. Users frequently downvote and/or leave comments if something is unclear or doesn't quite add up. More community self-moderation equals less unilateral moderator actions. As an avid PMSE member, can you commit to downvoting and commenting on questionable content that you know as a PM might need to be clarified or that you don't agree with? | |
| Jul 5, 2012 at 21:44 | comment | added | Bartosz Rakowski | You don't know if he knows what he is talking about - or - if he is talking about what he knows. Personally, I am fine with that. It is the same in the world around us and as a PMSE user I don't expect anything different. | |
| Jul 5, 2012 at 18:35 | comment | added | jmort253 Mod | Can you expand in your answer on how we might solve this problem in a more satisfactory manner? Consider this new answer added to an old question: pm.stackexchange.com/a/6110/34 ... How can I know this person knows what he's talking about as a visitor? Remember, Stack Exchange strives to solve a different problem than traditional discussion forums, by providing expert answers that will not just help the asker, but future visitors for years to come. :) | |
