I always get down-votes for my questions (also one of question is closed too) because people don't realize that my knowledge of programming is not very strong. I am a coding enthusiast and I would like some tips to reputations.
What can I do?

Should I say "Please, no downvotes," or not?– JosephApr 3, 2014 at 4:49

3No. If you do that, you can be certain you will be put in the Very Low Quality queue.– bjb568Apr 3, 2014 at 5:11

You need to read these two links to learn what should be in your question so you cann't get downvote:
And you need to do some work before ask any question:
- Try to find an answer by searching the archives of the forum you plan to post to.
- Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
- Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
- Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
- Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
- Try to find an answer by asking a skilled friend.
- If you're a programmer, try to find an answer by reading the source code.
And also here is a page where you can find that how to ask a question. Here is the link of that: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/how-to-ask

Before you post your question, do some research (and describe your research in the question). Search to make sure your question isn't a duplicate. Use proper and formal English. Then you should be able to get answers and upvotes from others users.
