Can someone tell me why is this happening ?
In the long run, it'll be good if you could add more Reddit users as your friends and do some networking so people will naturally feel inclined to vote for your stories.
"You're submitting too fast". Yeesh, it's been almost an hour. What's the deal with the delay? How long is it? Does the delay get shorter as karma grows? Right now it's really annoying.
Thank you very much.
The default option under preferences is to not show articles that you have upvoted. As you automatically upvote anything you submit, you don't see it in any of the lists. But if you go to your own user profile, you'll see it there.
Therefore, if you submit a story and go straight to the "New" page, you'll probably see a number gap in the first 5 stories. That will be where your new story fits.
Untick the option box under your prefs and you should see it again.
Regarding the submitting too fast issue, this gets cleared up once you've got more than about 10 karma. You also don't see the captcha image, which speeds up the whole submitting process.
This is part of Reddit's faith in the wisdom-in-crowds process. If a user submits spammy stories, the community will keep voting him down, and he will be unable to submit stories in rapid succession.
But if a user submits relatively good stories and builds a little bit of karma, it shows he can be trusted. If the user then abuses this, his karma is reduced by people downvoting the bad stories, returning him to the submission delay stage.
Hope all this helps, and adds to the excellent article above.
When I see a user name--in my friends list, for example--it usually has a number after it in parentheses. Seems like this would be the user's karma, except it never seems to match the karma number reported to that user in his own account. Am I missing something?
I have problem similar to Eliena Andrews. All my submissions doesn't show in New section. I have unchecked the "don't show sites after i've liked them" and it still doesn't show up.
Any advise. Thanks.
The next link I submitted didn't show up in the new queue, and had zero points, even though it should have had 1 because by submitting it I upvoted it.
Now nothing I do in my account has any effect. Votes don't count, submissions are there but invisible. :-(
Thanks for the post.
I do not agree with u that reddit has more traffic than Digg. As digg's Alexa rank is better than reddit.Yes both have same page rank. And people use digg more than reddit(i Think).
@Maki nice research.and reddit reward you for quality content.
Not withstanding it's utilitarian looks, it does drive lots of traffic in some markets - especially tech related. I think Reddit also had some first-mover advantages.
No one voted either positively or negatively for my submittal, but I know three people followed the link. Perhaps people viewing your submittal but not voting is just as bad as a negative vote? They must use a decently complex formula for the whole karma thing.
At any rate, I suspect it will be hard to use reddit for self-promotion.
But what about real information?
PS m.b. next time declaration of war will only some advertisment (like Russian -Georgia's war?)
PS world goes down
Like karma x - no captcha
karma 500 - ...
karma 1000 ?>
or all ends after no captcha
Use reddit, learn it's secrets. I've only just figured out the three sea shells.
People are just F@#$ ya they are all really liberal and left as they come. Also if your promoting you own blog or website think again. these people are idiots and they wont let anything that is your's on the front page which to me is messed up. How come i cant promote my blog why finding good articles at the same time. Im adding content right? Wrong if it your dont promote it and when you ask friends most the time they wont do it because they dont want to ruin karma. I mean the whole system is just messed up.
