karma on hn is kind of odd, though; people simply don't seem to interact with the upvote button much. i wondered at one point if i had triggered some sort of ban because i had several submissions in a row sitting at 1 point, but then i got a comment upvote so i figured not. there simply isn't enough of a feedback loop for you to know for sure.
