Okay feedback heeded. I did form an expression impression that since none of my comments went into negative that I was not harming anyone atmost being ineffective. I would really appriciate if people would hint at where my quality is low or where I am wrong (“you suck” is too general to be be used to improve). I can kinda appricate the fact that in order to get a valid downvote someone needs to parse it and it can end up being very unrewarding work. “You should understrand without explanation why you are too stupid to contribute” could be a very unhealhty moderation line that could result.
I think for comments that are hard to parse, it’s a bit more difficult since there is a lot of technical discussion on the site, and I at least try to only downvote something if I understood what it was trying to say, and then decided I didn’t like it. Only if a pattern emerges where I repeatedly have trouble parsing someone’s comments do I feel justified in downvoting or pointing that out.
I think a large fraction of the problem is just english proficiency, now that I am rereading them. Which is something I am very sympathetic to, having learned english as a second language myself. Some other fraction is just stuff that I expect could be fixed by activating a simple english spell check, like a lot of this comment.

I agree that if hard-to-parse posts aren’t wanted they should be downvoted.
