For some reason every few days my score drops like 10 points despite no downvotes that I can see.

I'll make a kickass one liner, goes up to 1376, then next day back down to 1368, what gives?

This is not a issue. Moved.

Use the search. That question has been answered several times.

This might need to be added to the FAQ.

Why is your score dropping? Probably because of your Kike behavior or your attempts to manipulate voting. (But we repeat ourselves.)

Thanks for the suggestion. But it’s funnier to watch them kvetch about it.

Not like they'd check before kvetching. This way we could all just tell them to "FAQ Off."

I knew this simple question was gonna set a bunch of people off.

Set off how?

When people get the suspicious behavior tag all their votes are cancelled. Sometimes they upvote genuine users and genuine users lose those upvotes when the algorithm catches them.

That makes sense, thanks.

What's a suspicious behavior tag, and how does a user get one?

[–] • 0 pt

A tag assigned by an algorithm to users doing bad activities such as vote manipulation.

Thanks, star - I fear I'm a little dense with all the algo stuff :-)

[–] [deleted] • 3 pts

Alt fags get algo'ed and their votes are removed. Happens all the time.

Don't know what that means

There is one legit usage of Karma or whatever, and it is legitimate spam blocking. If you don't, the entire website will be posts about V14agra. The details are certainly a PITA

lol What are you talking about?

If you don't, the entire website will be posts about V14agra.

lol spam is pretty well handled. That's why you pretty much never see it stay in /all/new for more than a few minutes.

I'm saying that I don't like karma systems for rate limiting people with unpopular opinions. I thought it could be used to combat spam.

I agree; I do not see spam. I don't know how you handle that.

Came here to ask why anyone gives a fuck about their imaginary internet points

[–] • 0 pt

Cause it seemed suspicious is all. It had been happening for months.
