Second tip: posts whining about your karma hits or inability to grasp the flow of HN also do not yield you a lot of love.

but post and threads publicly flaming someone for making newbies mistakes does give you a lot of karma love I see.

>Usually:. Posts about posting and karma in the middle of other threads are generally viewed as non-contributing.

If that is the case then why did the person who created a thread flaming me and complaining about posts, benefit from probably 100 karma pts today?

Thanks for commenting and to whoever up voted. I was told in another post that this was a useless post. Also thinks we should not be posting youtube links. Glad to think some think it was a worthwhile contribution.

Agreed. But it is still does not make it appropriate or right to question one intention, publicly, on a site that is set up for s specific purpose, with out finding out info about them, and to flame them if they think their intention are other than what the site is here for, and to pile on by down voting all of ones post, even from days ago.

What is worse is those bosses who do not know anything about what is going on in their companies, are getting bonuses off the performances of the workers doing task that they their bosses has no clue they are doing for them. Seems backwards

Thanks I needed to read this today.

No matter what people say or how bad things are for you, be thankful for you health and for all that you do have. There are many in much more dire circumstances than we are in. I have had to keep reminding myself of this, today especially.

when you have zeros next to your post and when you are watching your karma go up and down as much as 5 points, depending on when you posted, then your are being voted. down. Only reason I am being voted down if because someone or a few think I am here for other reason beside just wanting to get may startup going and just trying to figure it all out. Just leave me alone already.

Why was I not allowed to submit a thread?

it kept coming back to submit page? The submission ask if the thread filled flames of newbie startup entrepeneur was harmful to other newbie startup trying to learn the ropes and who only come here for seeking support, network and info? Is it good to accuse them of any other intention then that?

Just an FYI. I have a community website that is for the Parents, cadets, family and friends of a military service academy (nothing to do with my startup), I cannot imagine my members treating each other the way I have been treated in just one thread. Also, ON our site we encourage each other to posts, not discourage them so we too can have content and discussion worth while.

Just because this is a extremely active site, should not be a reason for people that have the power, to do everything in their power, to shut down a newbies good intentions!

Ok I am taking notes: when you have, enough point to do so down vote all newbies who are learning the ropes and discourage them from feeling welcome or posting. Right? That is a question by the way.

well at least I have clue now who has been down voting me non stop.

Thanks so much. I needed to read this after the not stop down votes I have been getting. NO matter what I post.

Another thing to consider is to have Categories for new post. so easy to scroll through and does not get lost on 2nd page.

YOU can have the categories in the drop down of "New" post link. You can a have "view all" as an option as well.

You can have the category fields as a requirement when filling out the submission form.

I hope the PTB of HN consider this.

wow even this post is getting voted down already. HMMM

Great Idea! And I do spend time making sure that people who submit about the same time I do have up voted points. Also try and leave a comment on one that are worth wile that may be a few pages back just so it is seen. I think more people should do this as well.

I asked the question because I did not know the answer. Need to ask a question to get the answer. Sorry I have not spent 90 days on here non stop... And as I stated in the question that was asked ( many days ago.. Geez), I did search FAQ before I asked.

OK so, Now I am getting the system: Flame A person for being a newbie, Collect as many up points as you can by doing so then, follow that newbie around and down vote everything they post? Do I have that straight? I just want to be sure.

..Or having every thing I have posted in days past being voted down, by a few individuals in the last 1 hour? No matter how worthwhile it is. NOt right, and I have no recourse. I just get to watch my "Karma" drop non stop. NICE.

I appreciate those who are becoming aware of this and are voting some back up. Thanks

so even my question about being a newbie get voted down. NICE!

Again I have pts bing taking away from just responding. OH MY! I have gone down 20 pts by just responding. And I can not take pts away in kind for responses to me. HOw fair is this? PLease not this was a comment from 20 minute ago. It is fair to reply to it, but it is not fair to give move down when all I am doing is responding to something that is directed at me. PLease give a newbie a break already and stop bringing down everything a I post.

This is ridiculous This is amy inteial reply to this post and because of all the replies under it It get -pts. I just replied to the guys post directed . Why am I being penalized by answering his question?

Why and I get -points on this comment? All I am trying to do is reply to a comment directed to me and you give me minus pts? Come on!

I am a newbie and only trying to figure it ALL out. should be able to do this without being called out for asking a newbie question.

If you notice most of the news is CES 2011 and thought it was worth while info to post. LOts of news coming out right now from CES. Do a search you too will find a ton of new stuff since I posted. Feel free to post! I promise I will not call you out. :)

NO that is not my primary reason. Primary reason for posting is it is Headline news and would be posted anyways. Why should I not be able to post? It will be posted sometime in the next 2 hours anyways.

Y combinator encourage posting news by their rating system. Nothing wrong here by doing exactly what YC encourages. Why not post if I find good news? They even make it extremely easy by their bookmarklet. Also it gives me a great way to keep good news in one place: my profile! :)

bumping up with the hope that someone will have good suggestions.

I am pretty sure this an angel investors/state fund setup in Utah for entrepreneurs in Utah

Promise?

awe I was wondering where that down vote button was that I read about in FAQ. Thanks for the info. It was becoming clear that some with higher overall pts were making it to Hacker news page while others with higher comments or points on a thread were not on the main page. now I understand why. Thanks.

648 meg of hard drive! geezz. Would not even be able to view those pics on that computer back then.

OH Yea! I would use this... My kind of app
