I just downbeaned your comment.

FAQ

What does this mean?

The amount of beans on your comment and bean account has decreased by one bean.

Why did you do this?

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

• ⁠Rudeness towards other beanikans, • ⁠Spreading incorrect tomato sauce, • ⁠Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.

Am I banned from the beans?

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

I don’t believe my comment deserved a downbean. Can you un-downbean it?

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

How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

Accept the downbean and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on beans. I will continue to issue downbeans until you improve your conduct. Remember: beans are a privilege, not a right.
