Message to users regarding Karma and up and down voting and Quality Commenter Scores (please read) and a request to users

Hey friends

So this has been becoming more and more of an issue in this sub and I'm sure others like it, but Reddit has in it implemented a thing called Quality Commenter Score or QCS. This is not a new thing but I think it affects people who are using special accounts for exploring controversial opinions such as this.

What happens is that people are using the Karma as a "like" and "dislike" button when they disagree with something and that causes users with possibly unpopular opinions to have low karma and then it gets auto-removed by Reddit's default Auto Moderator and I have to go in and find and manually approve of comments that have been pruned. I can't turn this off. Even worse it prunes Posts made by people with a low QCS and unless I look in each and every users profile, I might never know that a new Post has been posted to approve it.

So people please check your profile and if you have Comment or Post karma in the negative, it might be the Reddit Auto Moderator culling your Posts. If you have made a post and it has no activity, it is likely to have been automatically removed. If this is the case, message me and if it hasn't broken the rules (ie not low effort, not inflammatory, etc) I will be happy to manually approve the Post.

Also, I just want to ask, could we please stop downvoting Posts and Comments based on disagreement? I get that most people feel that is how karma works, but it's keeping people from being able to participate in subs like this- remember if they can't post then there won't be activity.

Thank you and be excellent to each other
