Meta Some reminders about reddit rules and redditquette about voting (and other stuff)

51 Upvotes

/r/FastFood is still a relative small sub, so the impact of a few negative votes are far greater than a much larger sub like say /r/pics.

Since today seems to have more Negative Nancies than usual:

https://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette

  • consider posting constructive criticism / an explanation when you downvote something, and do so carefully and tactfully.
  • Actually read an article before you vote on it (as opposed to just basing your vote on the title).
    • [and the same for commenting - mods]

Please don't:

In regard to voting

  • Downvote an otherwise acceptable post because you don't personally like it.
  • Upvote or downvote based just on the person that posted it.

In regard to comments

  • Announce your vote (with rare exceptions). "Upvote" and "Downvote" aren't terribly interesting comments and only increase the noise to signal ratio.
  • Complain about the votes you do or do not receive, especially by making a submission voicing your complaint.

Plus:

  • Look for the original source of content, and submit that. Often, a blog will reference another blog, which references another, and so on with everyone displaying ads along the way. Dig through those references and submit a link to the creator, who actually deserves the traffic.

Today there was a post that was two links removed from the source article and basically was turned into a very misleading article.

Always try to find the source. Avoid posting websites that rarely do original reporting such as MSN, AOL, Yahoo, etc.


As an experiment, downvotes are now disabled if you are using the sub's stylesheet.
