I’d like to point out that the upvote/downvote buttons here on kbin don’t behave like you are used to on reddit they are a little different.
It kinda confused me when I looked at my profile the other day and my reputation was -2
I’d only made one single post and it had 17 “upvotes” and 2 “downvotes” so the -2 confused me a bit. That’s when I realised the uparrow was not an upvote and didn’t contribute to reputation. I suspect many others don’t understand this either based on the interractions with my other post.
Edit: To be clear while “fake internet points” are not overly important to me. “Reputation” or similar do give me an indication if I am contributing to a community in a positive and productive manner.
Seeing -2 made me think “Who have I pissed off?” Till I realised that “Favourites” don’t contribute to reputation.
Have they announced how they come to these numbers?
Are they actual combat deaths or do they take into account surrenders and injuries substantial enough to be taken off the field?
