hmm, here’s a spiel on voting and karma, I’m a little worried that it sounds too forbidding—what do you think?
You may have noticed that all the posts and all the comments on this site have buttons to vote them up or down, and all the users have “karma” scores which come from the sum of all their comments and posts. Try not to take this too personally. Voting is used mainly to get the most useful comments up to the top of the page where people can see them. It may be difficult to contribute substantially to ongoing conversations when you’ve just gotten here, and you may even see some of your comments get voted down. Don’t be discouraged by this. If you’ve any questions about karma or voting, please feel free to ask here.
My non-confident impression is that it’s good. One slightly friendlier suggestion would be to replace “Don’t be discouraged by this.” with “Don’t be discouraged by this; it happened to many of us.”
