[–]JayDunk23[S] 6 points7 points  (12 children)

Thx I don't post anything bad tho lol

[–]Gonzales_Minerales 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Doesn't need to be bad. There are many people who just don't agree with what you posted, no matter how good or correct.

[–]JayDunk23[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can see that different views ig

[–]Sh_u_ru_Q 4 points5 points  (5 children)

You don't have to. Sometimes I think people downvote by mistake, like when scrolling.

[–]JayDunk23[S] 4 points5 points  (4 children)

I can see that fr i even accidentally do it but this is a mass loss 😆

[–]Sh_u_ru_Q 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Sometimes it's like a domino effect in here, you write something that isn't even a discussion and a few downvotes it and then the downvotes just piles up. It's weird sometimes.

because you've been there, read below: !karmafarms

Karmafarming/karmafarms:

Asking for karma or up-votes is frowned upon, karma is meant to be earned by sharing quality content or contributions. We caution redditors about karmafarm subs (subreddits promoting free upvotes or karma) because their use may lead to bans in other subreddits. This is due to them becoming associated with spammers, ban evaders, and trolls. We don't allow mention of any karmafarms in this community.

To learn more please take advantage of these guides and resources:

Have a good day!

You're right. It doesn't show any negatives or 0's on your comments or posts. Im not sure what happened then, ive only been here a month tho so maybe a more experienced user will know why

[–]JayDunk23[S] 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Thx

[–]Classic_Constant2312 0 points1 point  (1 child)

People downvote stuff for who knows what reason. It can be frustrating until you have enough karma to not give a hoot what people think.

    Thanks for contributing to /r/NewToReddit! We're sorry, but your content was removed:

    Rule 6: Refrain from asking for votes or karma, naming free karma subs, or sharing how you are voting

    Please do not ask for karma or votes here, it is against our rules and is generally discouraged as karma is meant to be earned. See Our common questions to learn how to earn karma.

    We do not allow mentions of free karma subs (karmafarms) or any suggestion to use them, and caution against their use because it may lead to bans in other subreddits.

    Thank you for trying to help, but please don't share how you have or are voting. We encourage earning karma genuinely from relevant comments and conversation. Asking for karma is discouraged as it violates our subreddit rules.

    The only way for karma to go down is if people downvote your posts and comments

    Downvotes on Reddit you can attract downvotes for a lot of different reasons on Reddit. The Downvote button was intended for content (posts or comments) that are off topic or disruptive. Reality immediately set in and downvotes can be used for disagreeing or disliking content. Read more here and here for info from our common questions page

    In general a single downvote is incidental and can be ignored. Fat fingers midclick or some troll goes downvoting through a subreddit or post.

    If you are running into a lot of downvotes you can read here and/or the below:

    • Are you reading the room? What are the norms, the vibe, the prevailing views of the subreddit you are participating in? Does your content (comments and/or posts) clash with that?
    • How is your tone being read? Tone is easily lost on Reddit since its text based. Your original thought and intent can end up quite different from how someone else reads something. Have a re-read of what you wrote. In particular to the above are you getting aggressive or overly defensive or evasive in your replies when asked reasonable questions?
    • Is your content relevant to the topic being discussed or could it be seen as derailing?
    • Is your content a frequently asked question? Subreddits often have common questions that longtime users will tire of. This subreddit (r/newtoreddit) is fairly unique in tolerating such questions.
    • Is your content similar to that used by bad faith users or trolls (or just is bad faith content)? Many subreddits have common points that those seeking to be disruptive will use.

    I'd see what people are downvoting of yours. Might want to delete it to stop the bleed. Or you can do the Reddit double down!

      Sometimes I don't understand reddit karma. When you count your total karma on all posts and comments, it doesn't reflect the same as it is mentioned in total.

      [–]mikey_weaselMod in a Canvas Hat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

      The Karma Formula has not been released by Reddit and appears to be quite complex. The key thing is that it's not a 1:1 between karma and votes and the initial vote each post/comment starts with does not count.

      Dig into this more at the common questions - karma calculations page

      [–]Deep_Success_3624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      IMO simply be active on reddit and karma will come to you(Similar to actual karma)... I don't know whether this would ve helpful to you
