LW doesn't register negative karma right now. It should.

Sufficiently negative karma should enforce a maximum posting rate.

Of course, that just leads to getting lots of accounts. Not sure how to deal with that.

I would like some clarification on "LW doesn't register negative karma right now." Does that mean

  • my negative points are GONE, or
  • they are hiding and still need to be paid off before I can get a positive score?

Thanks

I believe they stick around invisibly. Your karma should always be dynamically the sum of upvotes and downvotes you've received.

THanks for the clarification.

I guess I won't be posting articles to LessWrrong, as I have no clue what I'm doing wrong such that I get more downvotes than upvotes.

The worst punishment is an IP ban, which is only really helpful if the banned is not smart enough to switch locations. Generally speaking, annoying people go away if you ignore them. Thanks to karma, the comments will be censored out automatically once it passes your threshold.
