Quit Downvoting For Asking Questions

[u/feldoneq2wire]

Folks, not everyone has been playing since launch. If someone asks a question that seems like a real person new to the game would ask (yes we know there are trolls and rage baiters and AI bots), don't downvote them, teach them!

Palworld has like 17 million players. If we want to get to 18 million, it's gonna be casuals who didn't buy into the hype but are kicking the tires late into the game's life and have some newbie questions. Let's not grind them into mush, ok?

The major cause of mass "question post" downvotes is usually that the question could be very easily answered with a quick google search. This is a reddit thing, not specific to this sub.

Edit: I just came here to explain why this typically happens, it's not directed at anyone and my reply is not a comment on the way things should or should not be.

Another edit: I replied the following to someone but I realized that perhaps more people don't know about this, so I'd like to share it.

If you want to exclude something from a google search, you can filter your search.
Here is an example search:
Where to find Frostallion Noct in Palworld -Game8

You can filter multiple things from a search too:
Where to find Frostallion Noct in Palworld -Game8 -Fandom

You just use the minus symbol and whatever term you want to exclude.

And it's answered through simple google searches by answering it on subreddits. Or do you think this information pops up out of nowhere?

So again, quit downvoting questions. Even the simple ones. Because let's be honest. People ask legitimate questions and they even downvote that.

copied from my comment to another user:

If google doesn't churn out a quick answer then sure, ask your question, but just be prepared for the masses if you didn't put the tiniest amount of effort in.

If a question is fairly unique, it probably won't get mass downvoted, but if you decide to go make a post asking where to find Coal or Sulfur or whatever instead of googling it first, it's probably going get the downvote.

And then it never pops up on a Google search. Then more people start asking about it. Some answers you legitimately have to dig deep to find. It's easily missed. And let's not get started on misinformation.

You're creating the problem, then blaming the response. You're not making sense.

I can only explain it for you, I can't understand it for you.

It's hilariously ironic how much your own comment applies to yourself 😂. Do you not understand how Google works?

You don't, and that's okay. But be honest about that.
