@quid So if somebody complains about downvote, should I direct them here?

I have in mind mainly the situation when somebody asks about downvotes in comments to their post.

If they made post on meta, it is very probable that they will get some feedback there.

Will you mention this room also on meta? Maybe some of the questions tagged down-votes could be a suitable candidate, although I am not sure which one.

Oh, now I see you have already mentioned it:

There is a chat room Why the downvote? where one can ask (me, or who ever else will help out) why questions might have gotten an down-vote. (Of course we cannot know for a fact, typically, but we will over an educated guess.) — quid 6 hours ago

@MartinSleziak yes, direct them here. This is the point of the room. I thought about positing about it on meta more visibly like asking a question "Why the downvote?"; but decided against it because I did not want to be seen as making too much promotion for this idea of mine.
