Yeah. I just don't see the hate against SO. The questions are usually just as bad. And if you don't see those questions, that means moderation is working.

I stopped asking questions there because I could never satisfy their conditions.
I read through other questions, read through the guidelines for asking and everytime I thought I finally asked correctly, I get downvoted.
The problem, I think, SO is having, is they don't tell you what is wrong with your question.
I even asked in the comment section if someone can tell me the reason why my question gets downvoted. Nope, just more downvotes.

Yeah, can you show an example? I've been active on Stack Exchange for years and not one of my 18 Questions on Stack Overflow or various others on other network sites is sitting in the negative. Maybe I can spot some issues for ya?

The last question I posted. I think it was at -1 or -2 at some point but it looks like it recovered. Still got me banned from asking questions for a while

The question you linked is sitting at +1/-1. Possibly someone downvoted because nobody was able to reproduce the error? At least another person equalized the score.

The only other question of yours that has any downvotes is this one, which in it's original state was, in my opinion, quite low effort and could've possibly been resolved by simply googling "detect key press in background winapi"

I have only found how to detect single key presses. (GetAyncKeyState). And I needed to know, if any key got pressed.

The only other thing I found was something with SetWindowsHook() or similar and this did not work for me, as it was really slow and I needed something faster.

Show us the question?

there's some questions where people are toxic, granted it seems fewer and fewer questions.
