As Olivia pointed out regarding karma rules on Reddit:

DON'T:
Downvote opinions just because you disagree with them. The down arrow is for comments that add nothing to the discussion.
Downvote opinions just because they are critical of you. The down arrow is for comments that add nothing to the discussion.
Make comments that lack content. Phrases such as "this," "lol," "relevant," "This should be the top comment", "upboat", or "MAN THIS IS SO COOL!!!" are not witty or original, and do not add anything noteworthy to the discussion. Just click the arrow -- or write something of substance.

Just looking at the past few days…

Justin Beiber/ Beiber Hatedom

I hate Bieber too, but you don’t see me misspelling his name all the time.

This is a meme research thread, and that comment pretty much adds nothing to the conversation except for being nit-picky. It's not like the OP was full of grammatical errors :/

I was at a Japanese supermarket today…

Finally, a HOH thread worth reading.

No longer neg karma'd, but how can you expect to not get negged when some/many of us like HoH? Also, again, added nothing to the actual topic at hand, and was almost toward derailing the thread :(

So like yea, I doubt its a bunch of "rogues" downvoting you, although I wouldn't know.
Also, I only looked at the past 2 days of your forum history, so could you point out some examples where you were unfairly downvoted?

See, these are the things that make you seem like an idiot at times. I'm not trying to insult you, but seriously. Getting negative karma doesn't do anything to your overall karma (yet). So what's the point of freaking out? There is none, that's what. It just basically lets you know what kind of comments to avoid.

Just relax, and don't let it get to you. Remember, this is the internet. Don't take everything so seriously. It's not like it's the only thing you have in this world.

Edit: Also, you are Hercules the troller of trolls. So why are you letting yourself get trolled by trolls when you are supposed to troll them?

Keep the childish remarks under the table for once.

Remember the time Hercules thought Gold Membership was higher than researcher and he got super pissed that some user got gold in like a day? Hehe…

@OGW and Kalmo: Right, point taken. So all I need to do is post very relevant posts. Too easy.
@Sweaty: What childish remarks?
@SpaceGhost: That was when I still didn't know a Rees was higher than a Goldy.

And everyone learned an important lesson that day. Knowing is half the battle!

WTF? SOMEONE DOWNVOTED MY POST FROM EARLIER! RAAAAAAAAAAAAGEFAAAAAAAAACE!

Why do people care about karma?

Probably because it's one of those small things we love to fuss over.
