How many 👎👎dislikes👎👎 are normal?

Question

Hi to whoever sees this,
My coronavirus tracker(Corona Corner: https://code.sololearn.com/W4pNnBG0JV1S/#html) has had dislikes of it(I know by the likes count suddenly decreasing). Is that normal for codes? I know there are some bugs in the code, but a 5-10% dislike rate(6-7 dislikes for around 75 likes) is not great. Are there so many bad people on Sololearn? If you have a similar experience, please share it in the comments.

Answer 1

Let me split my reply into two parts, the first part explaining moderator duty, the second part expressing my own opinion.

Moderator duty

Dislike button exists as a SoloLearn feature, to push good things up and pull bad things down.

Offense related to dislike button is "Downvote Button Abuse", meaning situation such as that the same user disliking a series of comments in a competition assignment, in order that his submission goes up.

Moderator handles matters based on rules set by SoloLearn.

For situation such as that a user's code has downvote from 6 different user, it is not considered as Downvote Button Abuse. Hence, we are not allowed to undo downvote in this situation.

Hope you can understand our position.

Own opinion

Why do you care about the number of upvote/downvote?

Can you bring number of upvote back to your real life?

Can you make earnings with number of upvotes on a SoloLearn code?

What can you take away from SoloLearn and make an earning with?

Only your programming skills, isn't it?

Answer 2

U can send ur code to mods for help

Answer 3

Dr.Hippo Don't waste time on counting like or dislike and report dislike counts.

Focus on coding, you would eventually get a lot of likes, if you codes is getting improved day after day.

Answer 4

Don't fuss on not important matter, look at positive side, your code has over 70 likes.

Dr.Hippo it's not programmimg related question, please delete this post soon, before we continue send downvote to your code.

Answer 5

Calvin,
I will wait for a mod to give his/her opinion before taking an action.

Answer 6

Well, that's kind of what mods do: regulate codes, ban misbehaving members, and check for offensive content. I'm not asking for a ban on those members or even to know who they are, I just want people to share their experiences about dislikes.

Answer 7

See if I get dislikes on my code without any reason ,I ask modes to take action against those since I know I didn't copied it from somewhere and had to think ,invest my time to make it look good

Answer 8

Dr.Hippo There must be a reason someone dislike a code. Dislike your code, does mean they dislike you, every codes have some dislike, based on for example maybe someone don't like to use jQuery or bootstrap library or other maybe don't get use of the coding styles you use.

Our mod have more meaningful tasks to handle, they would not go to study who dislikes your code.
