This may be a bit OT. I'm fairly new here, but I've noticed a few posts over time that seem to indicate that it's possible to tell how many downvotes one of your own posts has gotten. tcf22, for example, says his post ended up with a decent rep, but that along the way it got downvoted. How can you tell? A couple of my posts have ended up in the hole, (a post-hole??) but I have no idea if they got just a few more -- than ++ or if they were all --. I don't so much care who gave the -- as I wonder about the balance of -- to ++.

to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
