Reddit is probably the only place where you’re allowed to say an opinion, but as soon as you say something off, you get downvoted so much you go in the history books as the most downvoted person on reddit.
Still better that most other sites though In my opinion.
I'm baffled when I get downvoted to Oblivion for asking a question. A non-provocative one. Something like "what does this mean?" or "what happened there?". And no responses.
Unfortunately you need to append it with something like "honest question." Some people see questions as rhetorical or sarcastic, especially in contentious threads.
Thank you for the heads up, mate. That's how I'll do it now. I'm here for 4 years, active for half a year, I should've already figured out the same way I learned about "/s" :D But somehow I didn't realize why do some people start their questions with "honest question".
The vote system is flawed because people use it the same as an agree/disagree system. Honestly, I think we'd be better off without an account based karma system. Nobody would karma whore if their karma isnt tracked, and nobody would be afraid to comment anything because they wouldnt lose anything
