Do not downvote incorrect guesses

If someone gives a well-meaning but incorrect guess, do not downvote it. Much of the time a guess can lead to an answer, even if it only gets the incorrect answer many are thinking out into the open.

Check the wording of a comment - "I guess", "Maybe", "It looks like", etc, are guesses and should be treated as such.

If someone gives a definitive answer that's wrong - "It is..." - downvote away.

If someone's comment is unhelpful (jokes, memes, "that's a quarter", etc.), downvote those as well. See rule II in sidebar. Report any comments breaking any rule.

But well-intentioned guesses can be useful and should not be downvoted.
