Why does this have two downvotes? I get it if you don't like the design or something, but you don't have to downvote: the unobscured, properly formatted source is there for a reason. If you want to change it, change it.
I'm not sure how much we need something like this, but I like to fix things, so here's a userscript fix.

These questions asking for "code examples" are distinctly reminding me of the nightmare of working with colleagues who only write programs by copy-pasting code from the internet...
Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it’s hard to tell exactly what you're asking. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question. — UnihedronJul 22 at 6:17
@Braiam This answer is effectively an advertisement with no disclosure. It is not useful or relevant, but promotional. <- does this match? if yes, flag.

So, say you flag an post as VLQ and it heads off to the review queue.
A little while later, you head over to your flags to check the status and see that it is disputed. So, you go back to the answer and see that it has a comment from a reviewer that is typical for link-only answers (which it was...
@AstroCB If they're declined then a moderator declined it from the flags queue, not the Low Quality Posts queue. Review currently only dismisses as disputed or helpful.
@AstroCB Unfortunately, yes. For really egregious ones that I go "why the hell is this in review?" I'll click through to the post and physically decline the flag.
Perhaps someone thinks a broken-window policy improves the site. I don’t know.
It’s a bit OCD to be chasing down ancient questions that were left open under a different culture, and trying to get them closed.
That said, you just look at the huge list of things that got truly deleted despite hundreds of votes, rather than historical locks, and it is startling what used to be considered ok.
Oh wait, you don’t even have 10k. You have no idea what I’m talking about. Sorry!
I like the intent behind this. It is a problem, I see it too often as I attend to the things folks send through our support email and I've often thought about ways to curtail this behavior that don't make the system any harder to document and explain to someone else than it currently is.
As prop...
Vandalizing how? They may not have been the best tag wiki edits, but MCVE does stand for Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable Example. Soooo, why do we need to look at it?
Can we please stop pretending that the Meta effect is undesirable or harmful?
If a post that deserves a downvote comes to my attention, I'll give it the downvote it deserves. If it deserves an upvote, I'll upvote. So should everyone else. That is the intended use of voting.
At worst the meta...

I am thinking of asking a question on meta but I am not sure it would be a good fit.... the thing I noticed is that the more you participate in both SO and META the more youre exposing yourself to being a target of "random" downvotes.. Ie. if you don't participate as much you will receive less downvotes...
I remember when I first started and didn't participate in meta and just once in a while answered a question or two on SO... I never have had any "random" downvotes but almost two years later I occasionally encounter "random" downvotes which is becoming really annoying.. I know you can just not worry and move on but this is happening more frequently now and just annoys the shit out of me
It seems that some people are taking things too personally and in the spirit of a good Q&A site the downvotes on GOOD answers are unexplainable
It's a slap in the face when you spend your own time to build this great library of good questions and answers and someone who doesn't like "you" just goes around downvoting your efforts... that system is broken in my opinion
@mehow Are you sure it's because of your meta participation? I've also received a handful of downvotes so far on older answers that were well-received without previous downvotes but I never thought of linking it to Meta activity. Just the longer you spend time on SO, the higher the chance of receiving a random downvote.
@mehow I actively participate on MSO, no downvotes on SO due to meta yet; though my answers on SO are not remotely close to yours in terms of votes and quality.
Somebody is trying not to follow room rules in room number 19132. We tried to make him understand not to speak in his language instead speak in English only, Even though He keeps doing that.
@Stijn well, I am linking it to meta but it's completely different than the "meta-effect" as my questions/answers are not really discussed on meta. I think its due to the fact that my username appears in too many places, some have called me harsh and taken things too personally which I find to be the only way to explain random downvotes on good answers...
@mehow On MSO, avoid "you". E.g. avoid saying "You should use XYX...", try using "One should use XYZ" or "We should use XYZ" or simple "Use XYZ". Then the person you speak to takes the info and doesn't try to take revenge. Upset people take it personally if you say "you". Try and see if it works.we we
@mehow: Note: I didn't say "You should try this and see if it works" :)
