When should we up vote questions?
I've seen questions with something like 10 answers, but 1 only one up vote. Usually, on the other SE sites, I see questions with more or the same amount of up votes as answers.
Are the rules here not entirely unlike the ones on the other SE sites? Should we only up vote if we see an "extraordinary" question?
On codegolf.se, I am very likely to uptick anything I answer, but that certainly isn't a general condition.
I tend to upvote questions when I consider them interesting or fun to golf. Usually I tend to upvote only after I answered and in some cases it's quite surprising what you can find even in simple-sounding questions (e.g. Kaprekar).
I upvote every question where I partition in the challenge, because I think a good question is a question which attracts my interest. The only exception is, when I like the challenge very much, but the question is poorly worked out:
In the above cases, I even might downvote the question.
In contrast, I upvote a question even if I don't take part in the challenge, if it is worked out very good:
The language problem and border-cases can be solved by asking for assistance in chat or in the preparation-thread on meta - nobody will steal your question; I guess that is the common sense of fairness here.
It is annoying to start in a challenge, and, because of an unclear question, to restart from scratch, to solve the changing puzzle.
No idea, I hardly ever upvote questions, so I guess they have to be extraordinary for me :)
I've also upticked questions that I don't have time to answer right then, but intend to come back to.
To the asker, the upvote may mean "I like this question and appreciate your effort, please ask more similar questions in the future"
It seems to go both ways though, here are a couple of my questions
koch-snowflake has 9 votes and 3 answers
detect-rotated-strings has 1 vote and 13 answers
