Is there someone allergic to Lumosity?

Question

What is wrong with the question "Can Lumosity exercises really improve core cognitive functions and enhance memory and attention?"

Due to one negative vote & no positive votes after 15 times that the question was viewed, I deleted it.

But, I think there was a good claim; a claim that I have shown by this picture:

You didn't even let the question be viewed by more than a few people, so how would you know how the community feels about your question? — Sam I Am, Jan 28, 2013 at 14:56
@Sam, I am sure that the better questions are voted up, not down. Neverthless, on the contrary, anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that I asked a good question here. — Carlo Alterego, Jan 28, 2013 at 17:06

1 vote from 15 views is probably fairly normal, you should have left the question up longer to see what anyone else thought of it.

I don't know why your question was downvoted. We have had a couple of questions on brain training:

Possibly the downvoter felt it was a duplicate, although if that was the case voting to close it would be the normal action.

Perhaps they had enough rep to downvote (125) but not enough to close vote (3000)?

Hello @Odd, yes, I agree with you. Nevertheless I think that 125 rep-points are not enough to have the privilege to vote down. Skeptics.SE is different from other StackExchange sites. I would say that 1000 rep-points are the minimum that users should have to have that privilege.

@Carlo_R considering how hard it is to get Rep on Skeptics i think 125 is reasonable. However that is probably better discussed in a different question.
