Like sorry, I just thought this city subreddit would know this information about this city I was thinking about moving to. Fuck me I guess, -22 points. WOW.

Never go to Reddit for anything but passive reading. That's the best advice I can give.

Correct. And never read past the top comments in every thread. Literally everything other than the top comments are karma fishing memelords.

Post the question.

I went into a city subreddit that I am interesting in moving to and I was asking about the state's medical marijuana program. I just wanted to know if it was like California before they legalized weed and everyone could get it or if it was a more restrictive program like they have in some states. I did google it before hand but the information was unclear to me what the rules were so I thought I'd ask people who actually lived in the city/state to get a first hand understanding of it.

I mean I get I could google it more but I just figured what's the point of reddit if we can't have threads like this? Why not just delete reddit from the internet and just hang out on google search >_>

IMAGINE having a fragile ego about getting downvoted. It never ceases to amaze me LOL

It successfully separates the adults from the little kids who shouldn't be using reddit.

So, the problem is...Downvoting directly reduces the chances that anybody sees or responds to your post. If you ask a legitimate question and a bunch of gatekeepers downvote it, your question never gets an answer.

It's legitimately detrimental to the community to have a downvote function. Stuff that's blatantly offensive should be handled by moderators/ignore functions, but downvotes are just petty rocks people throw at each other. Sometimes rocks hurt.

If this is in earnest, then that rule most likely exists cause the forum was swamped with the same question over and over.

Do a google search for your specific question and you might get an already answered reddit post or other messageboard hopefully.
