Chillax, you’re breaking at least one of the site guidelines https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html#comments https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html#comments. Edit: specifically “Please don't use uppercase for emphasis. If you want to emphasize a word or phrase, put *asterisks* around it and it will get italicized.” Would appreciate if I could get similar clarification on exactly why my comment has lost karma.
- nefitty 6y agoThere’s already ways to give negative feedback on a comment. You can downvote or flag, or even just collapse a comment so it doesn’t bother you. It comes off as presumptuous when people point at rules, thereby pulling the thread into a tangential meta conversation.
- kbenson 6y agoThen all you get is people asking why they were downvoted. IMO downvoting should include a comment if one doesn't already exist sufficiently explaining your reason for downvoting. That doesn't mean it needs to turn into a discussion if they defend themselves, but I think some indication of why is almost always warranted.
