| Jan 11, 2012 at 9:40 | comment | added | Donal Fellows | OTOH, if someone's foolish enough to ask multiple questions in the same “Question”, please downvote the asker (leaving a comment as to why). | |

| Jan 11, 2012 at 9:31 | comment | added | Lix | I would suggest - that if the person acknowledged that his/her answer is a partial one, then no downvote is needed. However if the person answering has totally disregarded part of the OP's question then a downvote is in order. In both cases, comments cant hurt :) | |
| Jan 11, 2012 at 9:30 | comment | added | Felix | No, there are no rules, the tooltip only gives a hint by saying "this answer is not useful". Do you think the answer is not useful? For example, I hardly downvote but leave a comment instead. I downvote after some time if the author did not correct his/her answer (based on mine or other peoples comments) or if the answer was completely wrong. | |
| Jan 11, 2012 at 9:26 | comment | added | Balaswamy vaddeman | @Felix any predefined rules here,because I do not want to demotivate a person's 50% correct efforts.rather I would leave a comment.what do u say | |
| Jan 11, 2012 at 9:21 | comment | added | Felix | That's up to you. Definitely leave a comment and explain what you think is wrong so that the author can correct/improve his/her answer. | |
