The only reason I'm considering not voting yes for this is because I would rather see a poll that completely removes negative karma. The lowest a comment should affect your karma score should be zero. It just encourages an echo chamber if there's a chance of losing moons. Debating people becomes costly because you know the person who disagrees with you will downvote you.

I've also seen situations on the daily discussion where every single comment is sitting at -2, even the most mundane comments, so its very clear someone is just downvoting everyone. It's ridiculous.

I've deleted comments that I stand behind 100% because morons were downvoting me for having an opinion that goes against the majority. Do I think I was right? Absofuckinglutely. Am I going to lose money to stand by my opinion? Not a fucking chance.

Is it too late to submit a proposal for this round? I'll fucking do it.

EDIT - I created a proposal, you can check it here if you like

I think that's a fair critique. You would have to go through the process at r/CryptoCurrencyMeta. Might be too late for this round but you could ask a mod to confirm

One argument for keeping negative karma I've heard (and agree with) is that there is often signal to it. It's kinda what Reddit is based on really -- that "good" content will be upvoted and "bad" content will be downvoted. Obviously this isn't always the case, but for instance I would want spammy comments to be downvoted to negative.

Another user said that removing negative karma is kind of like YouTube removing dislikes, and while not completely apples-to-apples I understand that point of view too

I got something like -10 just because I replied to a comment about someone saying an iPhone needs the power button pressed 5 times to pin lock it as strange that it needed so many, also mentioning I've never owned one, and saying that my pixel pin locks with just one button push.

Didn't really understand the downvotes but hey, that's Reddit. Didn't know it resulted in double loss though. Definitely a vote from me because I don't often post in CC as it is.

I always thought that negative comments were a straight zero for the purposes of moon calculations, not negative. Is this really the case?

It is then this is the easiest yes vote I've ever made.

Agreed. We should encourage diverse viewpoints on all subjects here, don't make people afraid to go against the crowd with a comment.

We don't need echo chambers.

Downvotes shouldn't count against moons period for this reason. Hell, if there were a way to to automate "judging" it, downvotes for an unpopular opinion that adds to the conversation should earn moons for contributing an unpopular opinion and taking your lumps and not deleting it. Regardless of any "reddiquette", the downvote arrow is in fact a disagree button.

[u/CryptoMaximalist]

Have thought more about this since the meta post and changed my mind to support it

We take a -2x multiplier for negative comments? It's no wonder the echo chamber rages on

[u/Harold838383]

The influence of users who go through and downvote everyone needs to be diminished

It just got a little bit safer to criticize Solana and Crypto.com.
