LOL... you can't downvote on this site?

So, I joined yesterday...

Someone hasn't read the welcome and user guide page.

Point out where it says your account will be suddenly put into negative -99 for an arbitrary reason.

Level 6+ can access the voting [details] option (available under post's title or comments) to see who downvoted a post or comment On Poal.co, the downvote is not considered as a "I disagree". It's usually for spam and off-topic posts or comments

You can, but reserved for spam, off topic, or general asshatery. The less points you have, the less you can down vote without punishment.

Another common cause is multiple accounts interacting.

Does a bot do this or is this just some asshole making this decision?

If my points are not restored shortly, i'm out... fuck this joke of a site then.

Afaik, these are the algorithms built into poal and you will not get your points back. You can, however, contribute to earn your way out of the hole.

What is considered spam here anyhow?

[–] 0 pt

Spam is unsolicited messaging.

If I post on tonka toys and you start telling me about insurance, I'm going to down vote.

If the sole purpose of your comment is ad hominem or stupidity or trolling in response to a comment, I'll down vote. In other words, provided no content.

No, it's gay as fuck. Might as well start a new account and try your hardest not to have any contact with AOU.

Or, join voat.xyz

I came here to check it out... browsed a bit, then created an account. Posted some memes, news, etc. Interacted a bit... got up to 600 points and was looking forward to creating a sub.

Suddenly i'm at -99 because of some random faggot? Fuck this place... LMAO

I'll wait a few more minutes... perhaps it was a mistake and i'll get my points back. If not, i'm out...

You won't get them back, but it's always adorable watching a new user assume everything will be ok. If it weren't for the names being mixed from April fool's, you'd have a bunch of red users calling you a faggot and siding with the mods regardless of any evidence you present.

It's a wonderful, totally not broken, not abused system.
