Edit: and when I complain about stolen karma I get more downvotes. What a weird place.
- pmlnr 8y agoNo idea. HN behaves weird, I wasn't aware of a previous submission.
- detaro 8y agoComplaining about votes/not getting votes is boring and thus commonly downvoted (it's also explicitly against HN's rules). There's some randomness to if a story makes it to the front page or not (how many/which people were paying attention to /new, how were other stories ranked in relation, ...), which is why limited reposts are explicitly allowed, you were unlucky this time.
- deadmetheny 8y ago>when I complain about stolen karma I get more downvotes Nobody gives a fuck about who gets Internet points. Sometimes things reposted and take off when they didn't the first time and there's not a lot you can do about it.
