While this is a perfectly valid question that many people have or had, it may also indicate an interest in getting a higher karma for the sake of it, instead of thinking about the benefits of his/her contributions to the community.
Nope, sorry. Participating in the community means taking the good with the bad and vice versa. You may not like being "called out" and the OP may or may not be justified in doing so, but it's part of the nature of things. You don't have to like it, but it will happen.
Anyway, average karma is probably more important, and you can't game that by submitting lots of links/comments - you need to focus on submitting meaningful content instead.
p.s. Just in case you think so, I have not down voted any of your comments and am newbier than you by a shade.
> so even my question about being a newbie get voted down. NICE!
Bottom line is; things are a bit different around here (as well as much the same as any other community). Accept you screwed up, read the advice and take it away. Getting upset at blunt replies isn't really going to help (you or anyone else). Getting mad about the downvotes, even less so. Starting threads moaning about flamewarring etc. is even worse ;)
Don't worry about it. We all make mistakes. Now you've had a crash course in some of the rules and ettitquete.
No one is out to get you.
I would ignore this entire thread from now on if I were you. There is little else constructive to be added. I suspect a mod will kill it off reasonably soon.
This leads me to believe that you are just attempting to build karma for some reason without adding any real benefit to this community.
Reviewing what you have submitted, I think it would be to your benefit to look at what type of stories are highly voted on and, more importantly, commented on. Then maybe you will pass over the YouTube video and add something of value.
Just my $0.02...
I appreciate those who are becoming aware of this and are voting some back up. Thanks
