Anyone complaining about getting downvoted gets a nearly automatic downvote from me at this point; it's extremely highly correlated with bad comments. It also violates the site guidelines:
"Resist complaining about being downmodded. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading."

- cooldeal 15y ago>Anyone complaining about getting downvoted gets a nearly automatic downvote from me at this point; it's extremely highly correlated with bad comments. I think you mean "comments which are unpopular here", not bad comments. Also, by saying "extremely highly" you are implying that GP's commment is a bad one? Care to say how?
- emmett 15y agoNo, I mean bad comments. I've seen only a very few comments which both whine about downvotes AND have other interesting content. The comment I replied to ("You're right that ... You can draw your own conclusions from this.") is a bad comment because it contains no interesting content, just whining about "downvotes without replying". The site guidelines are there for a reason: everyone should follow them.
