Give me a 'noob' view of answers: Disregard (or even reverse) super-user downvotes on answers, and never delete anything other than spam.
Motivating example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5664741/watching-variabl.... My first time trying to develop an android app in Eclipse, I had no idea a GUI-based app like Android could print to console, and assumed console and gui are mutually exclusive. I was trying to debug a large existing codebase in a very rudimentary way. In this question you'll see an answer that didn't really help me at +94 and the answer that did help me at -1.
Five years later, sure, that -1 answer is self evident. But at the time, that was the key to get me started on altering the codebase to my particular ends.
It's like a recommendation algo on Netflix: don't tell me what the most sophisticated film critic thought was the best movie if all I do is watch Pixar films; tell me what the best film was according to other Pixar movie enthusiasts was.
