THE CAPTAIN FALLS WITH THE SHIP! Never delete!

[–]Derpspam 256 points257 points ago

Commenting is a way of showing our true opinions. To delete them is to delete a part of ourselves.

[–]VikingMop 111 points112 points ago

Unless you worded yourself wrong, so it's no longer your opinion people are voting for or against. Going down with the ship is great, but at least I want to make sure it's my ship before drowning.

[–]bouchard 44 points45 points ago

Then edit it and clarify/amend. Just be honest about your edit.

[–]francisc0121 105 points106 points ago

How many times have you seen comments like "why are you being downvoted?" in response to a positive karma comment? Reddit is comprised of a few outspoken people, and a LOT of bandwagoners. When Redditors see a comment with negative karma they assume the comment is wrong, and downvote accordingly (ESPECIALLY in arguments where there is no "right" stance).

It isn't until someone else speaks out with "why is this being downvoted" that the OTHER bandwagoners come to the rescue.

But what happens if that person doesn't show up? Then the comment is constantly downvoted by people who think negative karma = bad comment. Sure, there will be upvotes from people as well, but like I said, Reddit is mostly made up of bandwagoners, which makes it hard for you to recuperate after a certain level of negative karma

TL:DR - Comments with negative karma tend to be downvoted BECAUSE it already has negative karma.

[–]ThatGuyYouKindaKnow 19 points20 points ago

[–]MyNameCouldntBeAsLon 16 points17 points ago

Just yesterday, I edited with something like "please don't downvote this guy for asking a legitimate question", he was at -3. While I don't attribute the change of fortune to that edit (it ended up in like 30), per se, I feel it added a little bit of "remember the reddiquette, or just plain politeness" to the whole affair.

People are way too liberal with their downvotes.

[–]N0V0w3ls 3 points4 points ago

You might not give yourself credit for it, but honestly, you were probably the number 1 reason he got out of the negatives.

[–]artbn 5 points6 points ago

I once commented on a comment that was down voted, asking why it was down voted, and so some crazy people decided to down vote me too, for asking a question!

[–]hnrqoliv182 6 points7 points ago

Your comment was not contributing to the conversation and was off topic.

      [–]prattle 4 points5 points ago

      I think I spend most of my upvotes simply trying to undo damage like this. More of a contribution than upvoting a post because you agree with it I think.

      [–]fermentate 1 point2 points ago

      Funny story actually, I recently posted a fairly innocuous comment with a tidbit of information, and and the upvotes and downvotes were even at some fairly significant number. I then edited the comment, essentially asking someone to explain why it would get downvoted, and I only got upvotes after that. Weird.

      [–]Eboz100 0 points1 point ago

      I agree the bandwagon is a huge part of the problem, but I think the topic of the thread illustrates a worse problem. People are so concerned with the superficial number in their profile that they will actually remove their opinion rather than face a loss of karma. The whole point of this website is to share content / opinions. I think the community as a whole would be much better off if the overall karma was not tracked, simply used within a thread to filter posts if the user so chooses. This is not a competition, nobody wins

      [–]sha742 0 points1 point ago

      This is why I never understood the hate for those 'why is this...' comments. If it forces a second glance, then it's almost as important as the comment it's endorsing.

      [–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

      So, there was a thread about Zach Braff on Punk'd, with the kid and his car. Somebody said they'd beat the crap out of the kid if they caught him doing that to their car. I disagreed and said I'd call the cops and try to catch him. Like five other people starting arguing with me and I got downvoted to oblivion.

      If you are in the minority on an opinion, you get downvoted, and then the negative karma effect kicks in, and even if you are making a logical point, you still get downvoted. It's ridiculous.

      [–]AlmostFamoose 0 points1 point ago

      Usually if I upvote a comment I'll upvote the counterpoint to that comment. This way, I hope to help keep conversation flowing from all opinions.

          I once replied sarcastically to someone who said something incredibly stupid. Then he deleted his comment, removing the context that indicated that mine was sarcasm. People started down voting me until I put in an edit to state what I had responded to.

              Sometimes it's ok to delete a drunken part of yourself.

              [–]jaap424 2 points3 points ago

              When people start deleting their comments out of fear for downvotes in the long run it starts affecting their actual opinions and they get more in line with the hivemind.

              So if you want to avoid that i suggest just posting whatever you actually think, warts and all and so long as its coherent and not maliciously dumb it should should be fine.

              Edit: being punny or witty is a bit of a crapshoot though regarding up and downvotes, in the words of Mel Brooks "Wit is shit, funny is money".

              [–]thingsonmymind 2 points3 points ago

              Sometimes I don't understand why people delete. Especially when your account is totally anonymus and you technically don't really have to take any big hits yourself. If you change your mind then say so..

              I do understand a shyness about commenting though. When I first got an account I gave it my usual internet nickname. But I realized that I didn't dare to say exactly what was on my mind out of fear that someone would recognize my name and read my more honest comments I might not want my irl-friends to know about. So I got a new account. I named it thingsonmymind so it would be a reminder to say the things that are on my mind without hesitation if I had something to say. So now if I get downvotes I remember: that was what was on my mind then. Maybe a joke I commented with was funny in my tired mind a late night but isn't in reality on reddit. Well so be it. I wont delete any comments. And as long as my posivite karma outweighs the bad I'm ok with a few downvotes from time to time.

              I just deleted a comment because within 5 minutes I got like 10 downvotes. Why? Because someone put a song lyric up, I posted the next line. However I was literally half a second too late and someone else posted my line. So I got downvoted so quickly because it looked like I was...I don't an a-hole? Really I don't know why I was. But really my internet connection was just a little too slow. I didn't delete it solely because of the downvotes. I also deleted it because at that point I'm no longer helping the conversation. Am I wrong in deleting it?

              [–]EtherGnat 0 points1 point ago

              Nothing wrong with that. I'd have to say that's the only time I ever delete any of my comments; when I post something and then immediately realize somebody wrote the same thing I did. I generally catch it before there's any upvotes/downvotes though and I've never deleted a comment with replies--that's just rude.

                I agree, but it is a right ball ache sometimes in r/politics or r/worldnews. If you have different ideals to the hivemind, you're gonna have a bad time. And a negative overall karma in a sub reddit means you need to wait 9 minutes between comments (which sucks when you're having a debate)

                [–]quick_useless 15 points16 points ago

                I think the karma-as-a-spam-stopper system needs to be reformed.

                No one downvotes just to stop spam. It seems that a downvote is an anonymous symbol of disagreement, and as you said, this makes having a debate where you take an unpopular position impossible.

                Having a net negative Karma doesn't mean you're a spammer on reddit, but you get treated like one for it. Something needs to change

                They're supposed to lower anything that doesn't contribute to the discussion.

                Absolutely right, but I see so many perfectly relevant comments that get downvotes simply because people don't agree with the sentiment. Oftentimes, if you present a valid opposing argument, people get butthurt and the downvotes pour in.

                  Agreed. I've got negative karma on one right now because of going against the hivemind, and I'm basically just waiting a few hours to even try to go back.

                  [–]numb_doors -1 points0 points ago

                  Because the downvote up vote system has been changed (downvote for disagree not for spam) this system needs to change and adapt with the current.

                    [–]RedditNoir 287 points288 points ago

                    I stepped over the yellow police tape and made my way to the scene of the crime. The streetlights had just come on, filtering light through the hazy rain. The nearby buildings were completely dark; they were either abandoned, or the residents knew that it wasn't safe to come out yet. This was a bad neighborhood; multiple comments had gone missing recently.

                    All that was left at the scene was the chalky police outline, and the words "DELETED." Luckily, I could establish the time of death pretty easily: it was stamped right there over where the comment had been. I lit a cigarette and stared down at the blood-stained sidewalk. This had been a grizzly one; looks like the body had been bled out of any karma it had before being gruesomely deleted. No sign of the murder weapon; I made a mental note to check in with some contacts at police HQ. The mods were generally the ones to ruthlessly delete comments, but this could have been self inflicted.

                    Above me, I saw someone peak out of a window. I called out to them, and they scurried back into cover. They were terrified. I knocked gently on the door and called out: "I'm not here to hurt you, I'm going to find the killer!"

                    There was silence. I started to turn away, thinking they wouldn't come, but then I heard the sound of a deadbolt slide open. Then a chain. Then another lock. Then 2 more locks. This person wasn't taking any chances. He opened the door a crack and called out "Find Anexanhume! He knows what happened! He's the only one who saw the comment!"

                    And just as quickly, the door slammed shut. I finished my cigarette there on the stoop, and headed out. It wasn't much, but at least I had a lead.

                    I've been busy over the past few weeks so I haven't had much time, but I'll hopefully be commenting more frequently. It's fun to write these but it takes time and I try to look for posts that give me something to write about, whereas many novelties can use their gimmick anywhere.

                    [–]glenington 23 points24 points ago

                    That's what separates you from ones like POTATO_IN_MY_ANUS what you do takes skill and much creativity which is why you're probably my favorite novelty account, between you and Shitty_Watercolour, when you 2 were in battle that was one of the greatest days ever haha

                    [–]NoirPR 39 points40 points ago

                    The "battle" between me and Shitty_Watercolour was disappointing for me. I tried to keep it going because people enjoyed it, but I need something to write about, and S_W just kept posting the same thing over and over (me dying, apparently?) instead of something that I could make a story out of. There's really only so far that I can stretch that into a story. That, and I was a bit turned off when he PMed me about how we should keep it going because he wanted karma. Karma is one of the worst things about reddit for me and I didn't like that attitude about contributing. So, I don't think you'll be seeing a rematch or anything.

                    I want to get into a battle with illustratingreddit! She's very talented.

                    They need the karma, and they'll do anything to get it.

                    and yet are still surprised when the truth of your words are echoed back to you in a pm.

                    [–]Calamus_Dash 9 points10 points ago

                    For everyone getting confused about this: redditnoir is an alt account of karmanaut, the mod who stopped the bad luck brian AMA, and, more recently, banned shitty_watercolour from IAMA after he surpassed karmanaut's main account in karma.

                    Here's an askreddit discussion about the whole thing if you want the whole story

                    I'll probably be banned for this but its ridiculous seeing karmanaut's posts about how karma doesn't matter to him.

                    [–]tangopopper 2 points3 points ago

                    I imagine that him PMing you about karma was a joke. The point of his novelty account is to illustrate, not provide a narrative. The juxtaposition between your serious tone and his flippant replies were what made that funny. I can't imagine a battle between you and illustratingreddit - it would be more of a collaboration of it happened.

                    [–]glenington 0 points1 point ago

                    Granted the karma thing would have been annoying but he's gotten better at painting and it's true he either painted you dying or what you had already said which was a bit annoying, still cool though. Seeing you two battle would be great! She seems really talented and really able to capture comments

                    Potato in my anus isn't a novelty account. It's just the account of a redditor who posts all the damn time, e.g. Karmanaut, PHOY, AndrewSmith1986.

                    [–]unnecessarystory 2 points3 points ago

                    As RedditNoir opened the door and stepped out onto the sidewalk, he lifted his collar against the rain. He stood outside of the door for a minute, looking down the sidewalk to where the scene had been. The killer always returned to see his work, and how the commenters around had reacted.

                    It was a shame that it was so easy to deal out lethal down votes, thought RedditNoir. It was just as easy to hand out an up vote- but alas, some comments deserved it. They were the lowest of comments, seemingly having no value in the community.

                    RedditNoir turned in the direction of the station, headed to search this mysterious "Anexanhume". Who could they be? A silent lurker, only emerging to witness the death of a comment? Perhaps one of the few women around these parts- and usually with a perfidious record.

                    As RedditNoir pondered the mysteries afoot, his bent frame could be seen outlined against the street lights, walking at a brisk pace. He was a light in the darkness- the image of a true hero.

                          I got some nice -25 or -30 post in my comment sections. Makes people think!

                          [–]CaptainNoBoat -1 points0 points ago

                          Who cares about negative karma? I delete comments that I have second thoughts on - comments which are better off being nonexistent. Comments that contribute nothing to the thread. Aren't I doing everyone else a favor in this scenario?

                          I don't delete comments that have been up a while, or that have replies, because that wouldn't be fair to others. I also don't delete my opinions - just attempts at humorous comments. If I get -5 in thirty seconds, I get the hint, and usually delete it. It's rare, but I still do it. Don't really see a problem with that.

                          Edit - additional: Why is this bad? Why does everyone suggest that my deleted comment is obligated to exist? If it isn't an opinion that you should stick beside, who cares? It's usually just a failed attempt at humor. If you want my poorly-thought-out comments to exist for everyone to waste their time reading - then..okay, I guess. I just don't understand why it matters.

                          Am I supposed to learn a lesson from the full amount of downvotes I would get? - which I can gather from the first minute or two anyway.
                          Am I supposed to leave the regrettable-humor-comment for the minority that might like it?
                          Am I supposed to not delete a comment solely because most of you don't, and that's unfair?
                          I already mentioned that karma is a non-factor. Downvote this to -10000, if you want.

                          I'm running out of ideas here. I must be missing something.

                          Please, anyone who sees this, downvote. No upvotes at all, please. Downvote this comment into the motherfucking ground. It will stay there, in all of its untarnished glory.

                          Here's some help for you, if you're feeling uncomfortable:

                          • I love religion.
                          • I hate cats.
                          • Fuck Louis C.K.

                                Never delete. You should not be bullied into silence by downvoting.

                                  Welcome to my world.... Sometimes I don't troll and make a worth while comment but still get downvoted because I DON'T LIKE NINTENDO or something.

                                  I only delete them if I made a fatal error in the post, i.e. making a typo. Because you know that one basement dweller is gonna get you.

                                  [–]STIPULATE 0 points1 point ago

                                  I need to know this... now. I've been hesitant to ask but

                                  How do you see the upvotes/downvotes of a comment not just the points?

                                  [–]KingLatifah 1 point2 points ago

                                  well if you always used the penguins of Madagascar perhaps you would not have that problem in the first place

                                  I never delete anything. Why should I censor myself because some oversensitive little bitch doesn't like the mean, mean words that I typed?

                                  Faggots.

                                  You shouldn't delete at -1 because that's only 2 people that disagree with you. What I've noticed is that some comments start out negative and hopeless, but once the post becomes more popular, people that agree outweigh the ones who previously disagreed, and suddenly that comment is the top comment, even though it started in the shitter.

                                  I never delete my negative comments in hopes that this will happen, even though they usually just get downvoted more... someday...

                                  [–]m40ofmj 0 points1 point ago

                                  deleting something because people disagree with you is gay. the whole karma thing that is infecting websites is gay too, leads to nothing but mob mentality and tunnel vision. it not censorship if it's crowd sourced right? then it's fine, right ? yup, that's why it's there

                                  [–]narutofoxboi 0 points1 point ago

                                  This is why reddit will always be an inferior forum. Unpopular opinions are filtered out, and fags like OP will just delete the comment

                                  [–]qu4d 0 points1 point ago

                                  Primary reason why Reddit is mostly one big circlejerk. Negative Karma encourages streamlining opinions and jumping on the Karma Train, with substanceless comments.

                                  [–]The_closest_of_calls 0 points1 point ago

                                  I agree. Never delete. I love downvotes.

                                  Like this:

                                  Fuck OP. He's a little sniveling bitch that seeks approval through lame-ass systems of oppressive in-group socialization. Fucking ape.

                                  funny the first time reddit reposts funnyjunk and not the other way aroud.

                                  I take pride in my downvoted comments, niggers.

                                  I don't understand why people do this.

                                  Why do you seek the approval of redditors?

                                  Redditors are a pack of judgmental, sexist neckbeards with no life outside of their imaginary internet points.

                                  Redditors are bad people. And you seek their approval?

                                  Fuck that.

                                  [–]Vorokar 0 points1 point ago

                                  Not all of us are like that.

                                  Doesn't matter. Nobody cared anyway. Also, not funny.

                                  I never delete my comments.

                                  If people don't like my opinion, then fuck them for not at least respecting it.

                                  I'll stand by what I say. And in the cases where it turns out I'm wrong, I'll apologise and man up to my misgivings.

                                  Hold your negative Karma with Pride!!

                                  It reminds me of a Churchhill quote. Ill try my best - "So you have enemies? Good. Its means you have stood up for something sometime in your life."
