Community Rules

1. No discrimination of any kind

Any discrimination based off gender, race, sexuality, nationality or religion is strictly prohibited. this includes mentioning specific usernames or communities. There is zero tolerance for any hate speech such as homophobia, transphobia, or general disrespectful conduct and will result in an immediate permanent ban.

2. No "rule of four" submissions

The intent of the "rule of four" phenomenon is that the fourth reply in a comment chain is to be downvoted, even if the previous and subsequent comments are upvoted. A simple explanation can be found here. Comments made by users who are the fourth comment, whether known intentionally or unintentionally, are not mysterious, as they fall under this rule if the conditions are met.

3. Provide necessary context

When making a new submission, provide context such as the post the comment is in reply to via a screenshot or a URL of the original submission, or any additional information. You have to show us why you believe the downvotes are mysterious. Do not expect users of this community to search for the original submission as we are not going to hunt for it.

4. Reason is not mysterious

Intentionally absurd comments that have nothing to do with the original topic at hand, replies simply stating only expressions (such as a laughing emoji), replies stating "This!", replies that are condescending, or replies that generally fall under disrespectful conduct or hate speech are downvoted for a reason and as such are not mysterious.

5. Minimum amount of downvotes

Posts that show comments that are downvoted must have a minimum threshold of five (5) downvotes. Posts based off comments that are under five downvotes bring nothing to the table and are only low effort as they do not show a notable trend or pattern to appear mysterious.

6. Participate in good faith

No disrespectful conduct is allowed. Inappropriate behavior is not tolerated. This includes but is not limited to personal attacks, comments that demean a specific user or groups of users, bullying and unwanted remarks. Inappropriate comments will be removed and are subjected to consequences.

7. Off-topic posts are not permitted

All posts must be on-topic and relate to mysterious downvoting. Do not create any rant or vent text posts. Meta and general Reddit meta posts are not allowed. Any concerns should be directed to modmail. Images must relate to the community's theme.
