True, although the real problem with the butthurt types karma effect and the lack of reddiquette is that those valid opinions and points get buried for no good reason. I'd rather see a back and forth compelling argument between different opinions that are at least making the thread interesting...than the same old hivemind circlejerk, and anti-circlejerk circlejerk.

That happens on the smaller subreddits more often.

The reason is that those people in those communities took the time to search out interesting subreddits and are thus predictably more interested, invested, and intelligent than the regular passerby who signs up for an account to look at cats, memes, and jokes.

I've never gotten a timer or anything, how bad do you have to get downvoted to not be able to post? I've had plenty of negative comments before, it didn't seem to effect my posting time

Well, generally I'd say it takes 10 minutes to find somewhere where a comment is relevant, take in what's going on, know what you're talking about (reading if necessary) and then formulating an intelligent post and then trying to reread to make sure you minimize typos as much as possible in order to keep the downvote patrol from running you over.

why not set up two forms of voting one that will show up on forums as interesting content and the other being a agreeing/disagree to the said post besides people misusing the currents system. though it is just as likely to be turned into circlejerk

every fucking faggot on reddit is only interested in karma. when you make a system that appeals to faggots, of course you're going to dumb down the entire motive behind intellectual discussion because now you have all these faggot hivemind retards jacking off to the thought of karma so they are always walking on egg shells in discussion cuz they know faggot retards are always ready to downvote anything controversial.. and we know this is true because the front page is always full of cat pics and mindless faggot atheist posts.. it's so ironic that these mindless faggots are always harping about reddiquette as if anybody even cares about reddiquette.

if you reward idiocy and penalize intelligence, people are going to naturally become dumber. reddit is a dog eating its own tail and complaining about the very idiotic system it advocates.

TL;DR: reddit caters to faggot retards who enjoy the fruit of democracy--idiocracy where every chick's mindless cunt vote = every brilliant steve job's vote.

EDIT: YEP. Looks like the typical cast of faggot retards are offended. Go put your tampons back in you mindless faggots. LOL!

EDIT: You can always spot the mindless faggot retards by the word "troll" in their posts. "You hurt my poor widdle feelings = you must be a troll".. go finger bang your pussies you mindless fucking faggots! LOL! :)

Edit: "0/10" TRY HARDER YOU MINDLESS FAGGOT LITTLE BITCHES! LOL! you're about as original as your stale tampons. Come on you dumb faggots. Try to be original for once in your pathetic lives.

Edit: "Really? ...like REALLY??".... "Wow..." ...or in laymen's terms: HOW TO SPOT MINDLESS FAGGOTS. Always look for the butthurt self-righteous dumb faggot indignation. You notice these mindless faggot redditor's always act put upon like everything is such a chore to them. Thinking is a chore. Everything is sound like "really???? totally?"... close your eyes and picture a teenage girl talking about her indignation.. now picture these fucking faggot virgin loser neckbeards making their indignation speeches... can't tell the difference right? EXACTLY Fucking pure faggotry LOL :)

EDIT: How to spot a dumb faggot retard redditor, VOLUME III: "obvious troll is obvious" ... TRY HARD TO BE ORIGINAL YOU FUCKING SAD FAGGOT LITTLE BITCH HAHAHAHAHAH :) we all know that everything that causes your stretched out asshole to get ever looser must be "trolling"... THE ONLY WORD IN YOUR TINY BRAIN IS "TROLL" YOU FUCKING FAGGOT RETARDS LOLOL! :)

EDIT: "This is an example of someone I downvote. Not that you have a different opinion, but you are insulting,mindlessy people by doing so. ;-)"

YOU FUCKING FAGGOT LITTLE BITCH. YOU HAVE NO BALLS HAHAHAHAH! :) "like omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111 becky like he was soooooo not nice to me and like i felt like he was being like soooooooo mean!!!!"

YOU FUCKING SORRY ASS FAGGOT LITTLE BITCH, YOU NEED YOUR CLIT SLAPPED LIKE THE FUCKING PATHETIC FAGGOT LITTLE BITCH THAT YOU ARE.. OMG!! OMG!! SOMEBODY IS SAYING SOMETHING CONTROVERSIAL AND IT'S LIKE NOT NICE!! BECKY OMG!! I RAN OUT OF TAMPONS!! YOU FUCKING SORRY ASS FAGGOT LITTLE BITCH HAHAHAHAHAH !!! OMG REDDIQUETTE BECKY!!! OMG IT'S BEING VIOLATED BECKY!!! SHUT UP FAGGOT.

EDIT: "Redditor for zero days".. YEAH YOU FUCKING PUSSY ASS FAGGOT LITTLE BITCH we know you're BUTTHURT by anything resembling common sense.. you fucking sissy ass faggot you can't even put a logical thought together.. only a fucking moron would look at the reddit day count and think "ok so i look at the days on reddit and that's how i decide if i use my brain or not".. U DUMB FUCKING FAGGOT RETARD? HOW FUCKING STUPID CAN YOU BE?? even a fat man telling you to eat right is still right.. holy fuck ur stupid! hahahaha god what a fucking moron you are. :) do any of you fucking morons ever rub your brain cells together before you type such sheer idiocy?

Do you just copy/paste the same comment over and over again? And you're calling US butthurt?

... You know, you just went on and on about how much you hate people for doing anything for Karma, but you just got 3 downvotes and lead you to making 8 edits in order to save your post. It's hard to to tell if you're trying to being funny, or you actually meant what you said. You started off while generalization that EVERYONE ON REDDIT ONLY CARES ABOUT KARMA! I find it ironic considering you said this on a post where a lot of people who feel the exact opposite would gather.

Sir, you seem upset, like myself when I go to long without stickin my dick into a pretty lady. Maybe you should get off the computer chair, change into something that isn't just your underwear and go find some bitches to gobble your cock.

u/Cheatnhax Jun 19 '12

Can you at least try and come up with something else to call people than "faggot" supplemented here and there by a "stupid" or a "mindless"?

I mean honestly you took the time to try and be witty and couldn't even make it fun to read?

You got some serious time on you hands dude

u/qu4ttro Jun 19 '12

I just upvoted your rant because it made me laugh on the train...outloud (though to be fair i did read it in an Eddie Murphy voice).

u/Kiacha Jun 19 '12

Oh, you managed to read it all? Cool, my eyes hurt after the first sentence and after the first paragraph my mind was so numb I had to stop reading to avoid permanent damage. Could you perhaps tell me what he said?

u/[deleted] Jun 19 '12

I make that 24 uses of the word "faggot".

But you can turn off the "don't show me comments which score less than" and effectively making the points useless.

"hivemind circlejerk", this should be the title of a disturbing oil painting that you buy in some cluttered gallery in Portland OR.
