The past few times I've posted a question on Stack Overflow my question has been down-voted within minutes. Is there a down-vote bot? Or am I really asking bad questions?<p>My latest question[0] involves Racket and refactoring a function. How could I improve this question? (You'll see from the question that I know almost nothing about Racket)<p>[0]http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30625909/how-would-i-make-this-racket-code-dryer
I don't think it's bot, just lots of grumpy people with nothing better to do. I quit going there because instead of getting help, I'd get down voted because of simple typos, etc... I still use it a lot, but don't really ask my own questions any more. I also refrain from answering questions as that invites a bunch of know it all's down voting my answer because it's not as slick as theirs. Way too much down voting going on there. But in their defense, there are way to many people asking the same questions over and over without searching. (not suggesting you did, just an observation)
You could try asking that question on <a href="http://codereview.stackexchange.com/" rel="nofollow">http://codereview.stackexchange.com/</a>
