| May 8, 2011 at 22:10 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | no, we can't have a nag reminder to do something potentially negative. The question voting reminder is simply about voting, not "please downvote". That'd be like reminding people they haven't smoked a cigarette in a few days, maybe they should try one? | |
