TL:DR - My answer was accepted then downvoted. Although the answer has been corrected the downvotes remain. Is there anything I can/should do?
Okay, here is my issue. Sorry if I waffle a little, you will have to bear with me.
I answered a question today on variable declaring scope for loops. As far as I can see, the answer was technically correct and helpful. I then added a small paragraph to the bottom about String concatenation adding objects to the String pool. To cut a long story short, that is only correct when concatenating String literals, which I hadn't specified.
The answer was then promptly accepted. Shortly after that I earnt myself a down-vote on that answer for not being specific enough about literal concatenation rather than variable concatenation. Fair enough. After a brief dialog I corrected the vagueness of the last paragraph. I then received second down-vote for the same reason despite the correction. I politely alerted the down-voters that I had removed the vague/unhelpful last paragraph but the down-votes were not removed. Again, fair enough, I can't expect people to run around checking their down-votes.
There is a selfish concern in that I don't like to have down-voted answers, I pride myself on keeping correct high quality answers. But there is also a more important concern. The most important concern is that if future visitors find this question they might assume that my answer is wrong and have to keep looking which means it will take them longer to find the answer they are looking for.
So the question now is - is there anything I can or should do about it? Or, should I leave the answer as it is? Any thoughts?
