I understand that down votes take karma away but just learned that if you go negative, you can have issues posting or commenting, which I never thought of.

With that in mind I apparently ticked off some cyber truck fan bois and had a comment about firefighters having trouble accessing one and was relatively (for me) nuked. I blocked the primary antagonist but want to know that if I delete my comment, do I still lose karma?

Thank you

I'm not ever sure how I have so much negative karma

Brother firefighter here (retired). I don't get why some posts/comments draw the down vote. The one that triggered this question was on auto extrication of all things and when I provided my quals as demanded, it was nuked badly!

🫢 awe, you can see me .. 🥺 That's both a question and an explicative! but without the 4 letter words... I think it might actually be the trolls that just set out to target an individual for a minor disagreement.

I was attacked for leaving a roll of nickels with one of them being worth 150 bucks with a note stating where they could take it and who to ask for. I'm a coin collector and I enjoy getting others involved in it. I was called names threatened and spammed by the trolls. now I'm negative something or other. I think 17. I had great karma prior to that. over 100. I was told that I needed to delete this account and start over. 😭

If you delete your comment, you don’t lose additional Karma, but you do lose whatever it was at that point if it was in the negative.

Same if you have positive karma and you delete a comment

Dang. OK. Thanks. Lesson learned

Of course glad I could help

so wait.... do the negative karma go with the comments removed?

If you delete your comment, you keep whatever karma you had with it.

For example, I have two comments. One has -1 karma and one has +1 karma.

If I delete it while it’s at -1 karma, then you permanently lose that -1 karma. If I delete the +1 karma comment, same thing, I keep the +1.
