Wait till you read this stuff. It is really serious. Your NS account points go down as people downvote. That’s like reputation.
FAQ
What does this mean?
The amount of karma (points) on your dispatch and NationStates account has decreased by one.
Why did you do this?
There are several reasons I may deem a dispatch to be unworthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to:
Rudeness towards other NSers,
Spreading incorrect information,
Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a `/s`.
Am I banned from the NationStates?
No - not yet. But you should refrain from making dispatches like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your posting privileges in jeopardy.
I don't believe my dispatch deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?
Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a telegram explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to telegrams within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.
How can I prevent this from happening in the future?
Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on NationStates.net. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: NationStates is privilege, not a right.
I’m so scared I pooed my pants!
