If you're concerned about it, you could do a user search on yourself, sort by reputation, and then compare your higest-rated nodes with your lowest-rated nodes, which might let you pick out a trend of which kinds of nodes get voted up and which don't. It may not just be about content, but also clarity and tone, in some cases, though solid content will tend to salvage poor tone, at least somewhat. I looked through some of your lowest-rated nodes, though, and most of them didn't seem too bad to me. (There was one that was pretty much content-free, something about ignoring a previous node; that sort of thing is best put in an update to the same node, IMO. But that's just one node; nearly all of us have one or two bloopers like that.)

I wouldn't worry too much about minor negative nodes. The way the voting system works, as best I understand it, it takes more than ten -5 nodes to negate the impact on your XP of a single +50 node. Besides, XP have no materiel value.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
