I expect you're probably seeing downvotes on your node. That's because of this widely held voting tenet:
- If the node talks about voting, -- the node.
Within the category of "nodes about voting", nodes that actually complain about being downvoted get downvoted the most. I don't think your node will suffer as bad as one of those, but I've seen a lot of nodes about voting get low reps and I've seen references to this trend in a few nodes and Chatterbox exchanges.
I guess now that my node is probably due for some downvotes, since it's talking about voting too.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
