The post (original link : http://jxcore.com/node-js-ide-on-android-ios-winrt/) was deleted on purpose. The article is announcing something which is not available for download, therefore it looks like self promotion and not general purpose news at this point.
PS : Once it is available for download, you can of course post the announcement here :)
I believe this was part of the idea when Lamernews emerged. In fact, when you upvote you are not really "losing" karma, you are transferring points to the poster of the upvoted news.
Ultimately though, one shouldn't take karma points too seriously :)
Thanks for your input everyone, some valuable advice here. I might wait for 0.12 to be released and see how things stabilize during the next few months.
That's strange, it's supposed to be the opposite. Usually, if you visit the site, you earn 1 point. The current threshold is set to 1 point per hour, so if you visit the site three times a day, with more than one hour between each visits, you should earn 3 points.
Aren't you upvoting stories during your visits? That would explain why your karma is decreased.
