I have negative karma to the point where I will probably never get it back

I doubt this. I scanned your comment history, just looking at the karma of each comment. I didn't bother to keep a running total, but I think you're only at around -20 to -30. I bet if you care enough to review the high and low scorers, you can easily figure out how to make comments that avoid downvotes, and within a few days or weeks, you'll have accumulated positive karma.

If I were you, I wouldn't bother to track karma that closely unless I had some top-level post I really wanted to make.

Or if I, you know, wanted to post more frequently then every 8 minutes!!!

I had no idea. My apologies.

...was that feature announced anywhere? I certainly didn't know about it, and the others might not have either.

Yes unfortunatley. I don't know where it was announced, but after posting this, if I try to reply to some one else it will tell me "you have to wait another 8 minutes before submitting again". Maybe it is ten minutes, I'll check.

EDIT: It's every ten minutes actually.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I post regularly here, and a 10-minute speed bump wouldn't make much difference to me. The extra time can be an asset, too; you could use the extra time to run your posts through a spelling checker, for instance.
