If a node of mine is upvoted, I would guess it's for one of the following reasons:
- I said something useful or funny.
- I was the first one to respond to a question with a correct answer.
- I was the first one to respond to a question with a wrong answer, but nobody bothered to correct me.
- Less experienced monks are trying to spend all their votes for the day.
- My node made it to the front page, so more people saw it (see also previous item).
Not necessarily in that order. I've learned not to pay too much attention to node reputation. There are useful nodes with low rep, and inane ones with high rep (I think I've written some of both).

Because you said something that needed, nay, screamed to be said ;)

I run a Win32 PPM

For ;-)
Honestly, I used to worry about this but found that there really was no rhyme or reason.....nodes that are good get downvoted for odd reasons....nodes that are bad sometimes get frontpaged and soar just because folks are trying to use up their votes.
I would like to think that overall, most of the monks here are providing me with useful feedback concerning my posts...but at the end of the day, I don't let it concern me too much.
I just try to hang out, have some fun, and hopefully learn a few new things | [reply] |

- Pros: Perl-related, interesting, informative, useful. Possibly because it was amusing.
- Cons: Not perl-related, already available in the Fine Manual or elsewhere on the site, or just plain idiotic.
The bottom line is, don't worry. Read, learn, think, try, write. Have fun.
And please will people stop asking this question.

What do you think that YOUR node got downvoted for?
You have written 26 root nodes in Perl Monks Discussions, 10 in the last two months.
Why don't you give yourself and the other monks a break?
Can't you just enjoy the Monastery, instead of complaining about something every second day?

Perhaps there could be a tool in the Monastery where one could ignore someone's threads much like /ignore xxx in the CB. That way if Monk X didn't like Monk Y's comments he could avoid them.

...that and/or some way to ignore a whole thread (based on
subject). The "Newest Nodes" page is hard to read when one
misses a day or two before marking everythig read.

What has your question got to do with the title of the node?
FWIW - I vote on writeups, comments, and whatnot based on if I learned something. Only rarely do I use -- and then only after carefull deliberation. | [reply] |

Honestly? Because somebody wrote a script to dump all of their votes before the end of the day and had it choose nodes at random.

I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.
