I just downbeared your post.

FAQ

What does this mean?

The amount of bears(points) on your post and Chapo.chat account has decreased by one.

Why did you do this?

There are several reasons I may deem a post to be unworthy of positive or neutral bears. These include, but are not limited to:

Rudeness towards other Chapos,

Spreading incorrect information,

Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.

Am I banned from the Chapo.chat?

No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downbears, which may put your posting and commenting privileges in jeopardy.

I don’t believe my post deserved a downbear. Can you un-downbear it?

Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downbear. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Chapo PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downbear appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.

How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

Accept the downbear and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on Chapo.chat. I will continue to issue downbears until you improve your conduct. Remember: Chapo is privilege, not a right.
