the chance of you getting negative karma is low, or as a result, you get more positive karma than negative ones, so do not focus on the negative one if it happens to you.
If you feel that there is an account that is constantly giving you negative karma, you can use The Eye of Sauron[1] and find out the identity of that account and then determine whether the reasons are real or whether karma is being misused.

It is simply the rules of this forum, it is a different system from others where there is no negative karma or similar system that allows downvoting. I guess in the long run we are all going to get negative karma at some point, the point is that you get a lot more positive karma. As hugeblack says don't focus on the negative if you ever receive it, just focus on getting better and better and you will get more and more positive karma and the likelihood of receiving negative will be reduced.

you forget to mention about those Karma abuser because I am one of the victim when i was new here and that made me felt bad because as a newly teleported account will receive negative karma in my 3rd day here?
knowing that i have just posted couple in some thread with respect and decency .

It might be posts that are unnecessary as well. It's hard to make sure to please everyone so you just have to make sense when you are posting and not just post to post. It sometimes can easily be seen when you read the post and it is better to call them out if you see something like that.
-
Lots of reason, most of them are mentioned here (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=657.0). But i guess it's the (incorrect) information/opinion you share/answer and the tone of the post like aggressive/rude. Well, this is only mine, as it's what i give -karma. So far it's only few of them yet. I don't usually give those who are rule breaking users, i usually report them to the mods and let them decide what to do.

As far as I know, anyone can give negative karma for any reason they want.
If I don't like a post, if I see any misinformation or if I consider it spam, I just click - Karma button.
I think this is important, so users have incentive to make good contributions, and to avoid spam or misinformation.,

It seems different people will give negative karma for different reasons. All these are just subjective as what I could actually overlook is what someone else will give negative karma for. But these are some generic reasons people will get negative karma;
- Sound rude or offensive
- Give false information
- Excessive Begging
- Showing signs of scamming
-

I see that many people are cautious about karma, whether positive or negative. Perhaps making the system more transparent will enhance the positive karma and reduce the abuse of the negative one, which requires that it be possible to see who gave karma and reply/topic to which it was given.
-
As you mentioned, people get negative karma on this forum because they don't follow the forum rules in the first place, but of course you can get negative karma as a result of other reasons, such as someone not liking your post.
The Karma System was originally created to make members improve the quality of their posts by gaining positive karma and alert other members to their mistakes through negative karma, but as with any system it can be abused.
-
Everyone here can send negative karma to anyone by pressing the Karma [-] button, it's very easy and there are no special requirements (POV from my account). I can't abuse this negative karma feature, because to be honest, the users here are very friendly and I often get positive karma which can boost my enthusiasm for posting. Yes, instead of giving negative karma, I would rather give advice to the person first.
Negative karma can be obtained if you have posts that disturb other users. So, instead of writing something to create a negative vibe, it's better to change it so that you only create a positive vibe. Even though it won't give you positive karma, at least you won't get negative karma.

Besides the cause of disobeying forum rules and still getting negative karma, there remain only unethical ways, like intentionally giving negative karma to members, just because you don't like the post content while the content in itself was valid, and giving negative karma is not the right thing to do, instead, it is equal to the mis use of the karma giving power.
So the god of karma the admin has the power to take your karma giving power away and you can't give karma to anyone. Until Admin will allow you to. So fear this and don't misuse the power and try to give negative karma to only those who deserves it.
And besides this, one might get a negative karma due to some mistake for example, a person X wants to give positive karma to person Y but mistakenly clicked on Negative karma, but did not noticed if he/she clicked on negative or positive, but thought that he clicked on positive makes one vulnerable to unwanted negative karma. This also be another reason.

I want to add to your intentionally giving neg argument. Although the admin has declared they will be vigilant against abusers, they can still affect users in the short term by ganging up with a group and handing out multiple negative karmas at once. 4-5 users could just say that they disagreed with someones post.
I'd rather focus on being a positive influence on this platform vs trying to impose my will on those that disagree with my opinion.
-
- Negative karma is given to users who are misbehaving, breaking the rules, being aggressive or disruptive to the forum
Already, the admin have stated the reasons why users can get negative karma, if their are other valid reasons for negative karma I believe it should have been updated earlier before now. If you must know, any unethical behavior that goes against the rules of the forum deserves a negative karma.
-
It's simple, we can get negative karma if you didn't follow the rules given in the forum. so we must follow it so we don't get negative karma.
-
So far, I've only once reached for negative karma and that for someone who didn't even bother to read a few posts and understand what it was about, but his entire post was focused only on the title. Each of us can subjectively evaluate what is a good or bad post for him, but I think that negative karma is something that should be used to warn members when they constantly do something they shouldn't.
Considering that I am not one of those who like to punish people in any way, I will always apply negative karma only as a last resort.

Good idea. AltcoinsTalks is a friendly forum and we tend to give positive karma much more often than negative one. So better to leave this option for really bad and disrespecting cases. As for me, ignoring the discussion thread and answering just the topic title can be disrespecting towards other users enough, so I agree with this your point. :)
-
Op there are different reasons one can have negative karma in this forum and I believed others have done justice for that but let me add my. Someone can follow all the rules and regulations of the forum but if the comments or the topic is shit post, he would have negative karma because others would not like topic. Then if your behavior towards others is not good that is if you have bad behavior you will have negative karma. And to avoid all that you have to play save. Be respectful, be polite avoid attacking people. Then you are save.

O : Why does everyone get money?
P: Because they work.
O: Why do everyone have clean bodies?
P: Because they all took a shower.
O : Why do people get negative karma on this forum?
P: because he violated the forum rules.
This answer is very simple and easy to understand because this question is very common for me personally. If I misinterpret it then it might be a blunder for me but this is just my personal opinion.

Here there is no need of any kind of credentials to give and receive karma due to which anyone can misuse karma giving. So i don't want any kind of abuse in giving karma. Positive karma should be given to those who share helpful and important things with everyone. By doing this, his incentive to post will double. However, if you see a post that offends other users, you can give negative karma. If you have a lot of karma then it is your earned power so always use it properly.
-

They can try. I saw at least two cases of karma misuse recently: one account lost a right of giving karma, another one got a warning and can lose this option if will insist on abusing the system. Misuse of karma is totally not supported on the forum.
-

You no need Karma to be earned to give positive or negative karma to anyone, please don't think as merit system.
All you need to be is Sr Member or above rank to issue karma and you can give 1 Karma to one account per 10 hours and you can give unlimited karma technically but you shouldn't use the system like that cause it's considered as abuse and you will lose all your karma and power to grant karma as well.

Right, each time you give karma it should be reasonable, doesn't matter if +karma or -karma. You should clearly understand why this exact post deserves that karma. There are many forum users who use the karma giving option and total majority understands that enough. There are just single separate cases of karma abuse. So no need to worry too much, but it's better to stay within reason. :)

Comparatively, karma highlights many positive aspects of an account, such as the activity, post quality and many think of that account. So there are people who will abuse their power and give karma to everyone as they wish. Since there is no accountability system for giving karma so anyone will give negative karma as wish. In my opinion there is a need to take swift action in this matter and introduce the issue of giving and receiving karma to everyone.

These days most members avoid sending negative karma to anyone only because they don't want o ruin someone's mindset by sending the negative karma but in some cases when a user does spamming or breaks the rules then he/she gets negative karma.

Altcoinstalks is a friendly forum, we all tend to give much more positive karma than negative one. We encourage good posters to share interesting content. And if there are some few bad actors on the forum, only them should get some negative karma.

Some people are the cause of things that happens to them that why when i see newbie accounts fall victim and receives negative karma or being penalized for their mistakes i don’t blame anyone but them for acting carelessly. There are always rules and regulations that governs every society or community so the first thing to do is to always learn about the rules first before engaging anything else, it is the same here in this forum. If you don’t neglect any of the rules then there is no way you will get a negative karma.

It is easy to restore all gotten negative karma on the forum, the one just needs to start talking any interesting crypto topics without any tricks. When others will see his thought on the topic and his interest, they'll start giving +karma to help to go out of minus and then to grow up. Altcoinstalks is a friendly forum. :)

You are right, every community or forum that is standing tall and waxing strong has a strong terms and policy that is being adhered to by th community membere. When a platform doesn't have a rule that is guiding it, it can force it's members to act in any manner they please which can either give the platform a reputation. I really believe that this community is fair enough, anyone that receives a negative karma must have caused it upon themselves.

It’s true this is a very friendly community trying to make life here easy for everyone, despite having broken certain laws you still have the chance to redeem yourself by making good contribution to the community. Not all communities offer such second chances, just prove to people you have changed your ways and when others appreciate your efforts with +karma it will counter the -karma received until the end.
It’s a good idea but some people might just want to take this chance for granted and do what they please thinking they will change later and counter the -ve Karma later on.

Yes, it's very true and the ones who are part of this forum know that thing. Altcoinstalks is quite friendly in giving positive karma and members often try to send positive karma to encourage good positing.
However, the ones who perform wrong activities also get negative karma, and I have seen some people taking advantage of karma system by sending positive karma to their own alt accounts and most of those got some kind of punishment.

We cannot discount the fact that people give negative karma because they contradict of what the other members are saying, or because they just don't like the guy, it really happens on an open forum, So far, I seldom get negative karma, maybe because I don't like to be in a drama but most of all, I follow the guidelines and avoid topics that I cannot contribute positively.

I agree with everything you said, and to be honest, all those things are true. I believe some people do send negative Karma to someone whom they don't like and or for other obvious reasons. But, I believe those people should understand that they're somehow misusing the karma system of the forum.
I'm also among those members who doesn't get more negative karma as compared to positive ones, and that's because I don't really offend others with my words and I believe useful conversation is way better than arguing.
I often send positive karma to the ones who I mention in my posts because I truly like their posts and as appreciation I send them positive karma. Sometimes I do mention +1 when I send karma to someone while other times I don't mention that but send the positive karma for sure.

Of course giving negative karma just for the opinion you don't like or just because you don't like someone in person is an obvious misuse of karma and of course it happens sometimes. It is not a big deal as long as it is not a personal attack, because altcoinstalks is a friendly forum and our users tend to give much more positive karma than negative one. So even if someone occasionally gave you -karma because he doesn't like you in person your good posts will bring you much more +karmas and you can just ignore that one or couple of -karma. It is a problem only of there is a coordinated attack or systematic -karma without a reasonable cause from the same user.

You don't have to be afraid of anything, as long as you are respectful of other users you won't have any problems. As for negative Karma due to difference of opinions, it is something that unfortunately we cannot fight against, and as has already been said in previous posts, it is a misuse of Karma, but it cannot be controlled. The difference in opinions is what makes this forum enriched by knowing the different points of view of all the users within the community and that is also the most valuable thing.
Respect the forum rules, be respectful of other users and express your opinion freely. The rest doesn't matter.

Yep, even good people may have gotten negative karma too, because maybe personal problems with other members... until now, the character of the Altcoinstalks forum still feels comfortable to be used as a place for daily discussions.. and as long as there is the Eye of Sauron feature, karma abuse should be able to be resolved immediately by the victimized users... and it can still be discussed to get the truth from the leaders of this forum...
I also often get negative karma and positive karma notifications... and I think this is still within reasonable limits that are fun.

It is normal for there to be discussions that go a little beyond the friendly tone, sometimes that is unavoidable. What we should do in these cases is try to solve things in a civilized way, and if the problem continues to increase, report it so that an immediate solution can be found. Karma is like money, it comes and goes, but I repeat that it is not difficult to obtain positive Karma if we really put in a little effort. The way that simple fact makes us feel is limited by our personality, but it is not a serious problem.

but how can one misuse karma . I have been cracking my brain about that for long . Do people have excess karma that they misuse ? I also check for link or thread about misuse of karma but didn’t find none.
Ain’t karma hard to get cause if you have karma you are worth it then why later misusing it . Seems that a bad idea and attitude towards this forum right.

Karma is not what a user is worth, it is an incentive or recognition (you can call it whatever you want) that other users give. Misusing Karma would be, for example, giving negative Karma to a user because you previously had an argument with them and things have not yet been resolved. To give you a better idea, I leave you the following link with an example of a case that occurred recently.
