So i tried my best to be nice to everyone, but the negative karma just kept coming, so i really am not going to waste my time being nice, just speake my mind. That is all.
Well i can see why
You mainly offended someone's trade offer by saying " no one would probably want it" and then to top it off you said " and nobody would probably want anything in your trade binder, sorry" you added a sorry but you cant't say sorry. What if those are the only cards he can get. He can pe poor he could have lost his cards. So don't offend anybodies post and i will give you positive karma.
If I may interject.
While I understand that there are some negative karma hits floating around that seem totally uncalled for. Do not be discouraged by these.
That being said, however, if karma matters to you, deciding to not be nice is not going to help your experience. I think I can safely speak for all the mods and even Piotr when I say we want everyone to enjoy their time on these forums, including you, and that won't happen if you make a decision to set aside human kindness. Remember that karma is cyclical - you get out of it based on the effort you put in.
I can't and won't tell you how to act or behave, but I can offer that as my advice towards a happy experience on the forums.
If you don't have anything nice to say, stay silent. One of life's Golden Rules.
Word of advice. Don't ever say something that can make people feel dumb. People hate to feel like there treated like less than a human being. From what it sounds like, you did that with the trade binder. People hate that and they would rather feel a million other things than stupid or useless or invaluable or like what they have to say or contribute is stupid and/or useless. You want karma? Try seeing things from other people's point of view
Related question, are there any consequences for reaching a threshold for negative karma? Loss of ability to post, perhaps?
No.
I'm just gonna throw this out there, but I think birdbrain has been targeted with negative Karma for no reason

I suspect his "this could be that color" series has annoyed quite a few people. Even though I may not agree, I enjoyed them. They were certainly a better read than the usual "hey I changed my name," "what's your Instagram name," and "what box should i buy?" threads. No offense to anyone. I even poked fun at myself.
if people feel he's being to harsh you could just hide him instead of giving negative karma.... just saying

Hahah I actually enjoy threads that help the users on this forum get acquainted with one another on a level outside of Magic. I was more taking a dig at threads that are truly pointless.
I will {counterspell} my own argument by saying no one is forcing me to read the threads, and that the hide button is a wonderful tool to use in some instances.
If you can't handle someone disagreeing with you on the Internet....you're in for a long ride
Ques, it's fine. Don't worry about it. And mike, I was trying to get a discussion going about something other than "hey! This card is good. Look what I can do with it." Because we need more stuff like that. But I've decided that stories writing stories would be better. I'll try to come up with threads that won't feel like a troll thread yet still be out of the box kind of threads like the two "this creature could be in this color" threads. An by like I mean original, and thinking out of the box like. Not trying to point out qualities of some animal/being that could make them fit into this or that color
Although the negitive karma I got for the video game thread I am still wondering about. Maybe people were just still p.o'ed about the out-of-the-box threads I had started
The thread that i saw that drewy made me mad was the foil rakdos shred freak. Tgis person was seeing if anyone wanted it and he goes up and says " no one wants it" then he says " and probably nobody wants your trade binder either, sorry" ok he DID say sorry but still that i really offensive. What i that guy was in an accident and lost most of his cards. What if the guy is poor or doesnt make enough money. Im not saying he is any of these but how would you know?? Im just saying that is rude to whoever you say that too.

Oh I was just joking around :P. I like all the other threads as well because they kinda help to know people and get a feel for what kind of person they are.
