I wish there was some indication if the node was zero
or negative before you voted, because sometimes I casually
downvote something, not realizing it had already been
carpet bombed. I feel bad after, too, but what can I do?
Maybe I'll look for something recent of yours to upvote
to try and make it up, to balance things out. Damage done,
though, and there's no going back on votes.
I downvoted snafu on that one, and I believe it registered
-1 or -2 when it showed up the first time. Yes, it was
interesting, but it was wrong. My thinking is that the
node was of no value, and eventually should be reaped
anyway. Perhaps it should just be deleted to save snafu
the agony, so that it doesn't scar his record.
Looking at the "worst" nodes, you see, time and time again,
the so-called "Thanks!"-type nodes. They're useless, and
I don't downvote them, but people certainly have a thing
for them and will -- without mercy in some cases.
Perhaps it's their way of saying use /msg instead.

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).
