I can only agree. Here's my rule of thumb:

If your posts are good enough, you will have a positive score on them. If your posts are - let's call them "suboptimal" - then you probably deserve a negative score.

Even if one or two persons regularly downvote you unfairly, you'll still get your XP. If you really get systematically downvoted, you should call the gods for help (and/or rethink your attitude).

All in all, i prefer to cast my votes anonymous (e.g. only known to the gods, the vote fairy and the reaper).

  • 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
