but how do you learn. there is little meta-discussion of the voting rules.

I learn by imitation, sometimes I've felt like adding a great punchline to a discussion, then I question myself if itll add value. Most times it doesnt, so I dont post it.

EDIT I also like that theres not a lot of meta-discussion, it would make feel a little commite-like. This community its a great example of self-regulation without making too much fuss about it.

The one or two comments of mine that have been downvoted gave me a lot of clues.
