He is. . . the most interesting atheist god in the world.

The funny part is how he never loses doing that. Ever.

The secret to success is to always do things randomly. ALWAYS.

It's not just you, It's me too. And at least half of everyone else as well.

Half of everyone minus whoever downvoted it, apparently.

 

On that note:

 

 

I don't think I've been saying anything offensive, but a lot of random posts of mine keep turning up downvoted. I have no idea why, which makes the act of downvoting them kind of pointless.

Point me to them. If I think they're good, I'll give them an upvote.

Thanks, but I'd have trouble finding them all. Most of them have several upvotes already; it might not be healthy that I watch my posts closely enough to notice when their little number drops down by one.

 

Mainly I'm wondering whether I've developed a sharp or abrasive personality that I might need to cut down on. It's frustrating to have invisible haters floating around flying random red arrows at me, with no indication what I'm doing to provoke their ire.

Or, maybe you just have a troll who's only way to make himself is to attack the senior members. If that's the case, you know what to do. On that note:

 

GO AND SMELL THE ROSES YOU STORMING TROLLS/VOIDBRINGERS!

It's not just you. Like you, I find it frustrating that I don't know which posts are being downvoted, to potentially learn from my mistakes.

They're probably intimidated by your reputation:

My general philosophy that if a post isn't so offensive that it's obvious why it was downvoted, it probably shouldn't be downvoted.

 

I'd be lying if I said I'd never downvoted a post for a stupid reason--it's rare and I always apologize, but it does happen--but after the newest influx of members there seems to be a net rise in senseless downvotes. Maybe someone should make a meta-discussion about proper downvote etiquette.

Well, in a perfect world, downvotes would get dolled out almost as often as upvotes, with the system being treated as an agree/disagree system. "Oh I disagree with that, downvote. Oh I agree with that, upvote" (at least to my understanding). Somewhere along the line the social stigma of a downvote being a personal attack got attached. Perhaps that was always the intended use, but why include them if it was?

 

Anyways, perhaps you're right? It does seem the newcomers of late are more free with their downvoting. I have a feeling it's an attitude that will get corrected quickly, though. After all, how often do you pass by posts with red boxes in the corner, instead of green or gray?

 

That being said, I do love the atmosphere of the upvotes. Talk about a confidence booster when a post gets a few upvotes. It's always good to know the community likes you.

I actually frequently dole out upvotes to comments that I disagree with, provided that they are well-phrased and respectful. The only downvotes I've given that I don't feel remorseful about are the ones that attack other members or include obscene words and ideas that I don't like seeing on the site.

 

Basically I see downvotes as tools that are only to be used as a last resort.

 

 

But, I think we're derailing this thread.

It would make things easier, but I've had to flee several sites where the agree/disagree system was so abused that posting something even a teensy bit outside the norm of popular opinion could net you 50 or more downvotes. And I don't just mean someone posts "Maybe the link between vaccines and autism is real" and nets a hundred downvotes, even though they would; I mean someone posts "Hey, maybe you should stop making so many insulting memes picking on this one particular religion if you're so into tolerance" and nets a hundred downvotes AND angry comments AND threats to try and get them banned. And the hundred downvotes might sound like an exaggeration, but it's not.

The stigma attached to downvotes here might be troublesome, but I like it better than some alternatives I've seen.

Agreed. I'm glad the 17th Shard hasn't become a reputation re-enactment of 300.
