| Aug 17, 2018 at 17:08 | comment | added | Scortchi - Reinstate Monica | "Sorry to welcome you to our site with a downvote, but [...]" was a comment I saw recently (& intend to pinch). What seems perfectly friendly for a user accustomed to site norms might come across differently for one who isn't. Moreover new users often benefit from guidance as to what they're supposed to do next in response to criticism. | |

| Aug 17, 2018 at 16:42 | comment | added | user50049 | 'Should', and 'actively do' tend to have wildly inconsistent intersections, but yes, it's a valid point. It's there as a reminder. And you are voting on the content, it's just a reminder not to forget, because it's especially critical in the process of a new user figuring out if they navigated the process correctly (for the first few times, at least). Explaining votes, and voting itself, is always optional. Again, it's just nice to have a reminder at times. | |
