| Jul 30, 2012 at 23:49 | comment | added | dash | StackOverflow is not... oh, darn... in all seriousness, another difference between all those comments is length: how do we tell if someone is being rude or just terse? Some people are offended by terseness, but the real issue might be that someone has dared to say what 30 other people are thinking. Educating people to be more welcoming is a positive thing, but not saying what you really want to say or saying something else can be damaging. Tough problem. Maybe a downvote on a new user question should also be accompanied by a prompt - "Can you help this new user by improving their question?" | |
| Jul 30, 2012 at 23:25 | comment | added | Bart | With summer of love in mind this is perhaps going to sound snarky, but reading through the content is "The tone of your message matters" all that we should take away from this? Isn't that rather obvious? | |

| Jul 30, 2012 at 21:21 | comment | added | Seth Rogers Staff | @random We did not rate the raters, but the raters met minimum criteria including having approved ratings for thousands of prior tasks. | |
| Jul 30, 2012 at 21:11 | comment | added | Pops | For anyone who actually didn't know: the OP's profile says "I'm on the Stack Exchange community development team. I work on special growth projects, research and analytics." @SethRogers: Earlier jokes aside, I am curious about why you posted this as an MSO question and not a follow-up blog entry. | |
| Jul 30, 2012 at 21:06 | comment | added | random | Did someone rate how perceptive the raters are? You could be dealing with turkers in a good or bad mood reviewing comments and skewing the whole analysis. | |

| Jul 30, 2012 at 21:05 | comment | added | JohnMcG | Hi, @SethRogers! I'm having some trouble figuring out what you're asking here. SO prefers to be a repository of questions that have answers. Maybe you could change your title or closing line to a specific question we can work on answering? | |
