Downvoted for a compliment. Way to go HN, way to go.

You didn't add anything to the conversation. It's fine to compliment someone, but add to the conversation otherwise the comment is just noise. If all you have to say is that, just upvote.

Awesome.

Let's keep this going.

It's just the way that you're signalled not to make these kind of posts. It's not personal even if it feels like it.

Resist commenting about being downvoted. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

Please don't bait other users by inviting them to downvote you.
