Reddit Crash Course

For newcomers, I'll speak in terms you'll be able to relate.

In facebook, they have "likes" and other emoji reactions. In Reddit we have ***'upvote'*** and ***'downvote'***. They apply to both posts and comments. The visibility of interactions are sorted based on upvotes & downvotes, with high upvote post or comment seen higher in the feed.

Your accumulated upvotes minus downvotes is recorded as your ***'karma'*** points. In your profile details, post karma and comment karma are visible. Those are the site-wide karma, meaning points you gained anywhere in reddit.

In fb, you follow people and pages. In reddit, the communities you join or view are called subreddits (phcareers is one of them). Subreddit or community specific karma actually exists. Your karma breakdown details per subreddit is available at old.reddit.

To gain comment karma for r/phcareers, you can take advantage of the help thread. Outside that thread, new user interaction is invisible to the community. Until you pass the threshold point, you cannot participate in the comment section of any post submitted. Likewise, post submission karma requirements are higher than comment karma threshold.

We recently implemented this as 'bot attack' protection, a site-wide problem. Bots don't deserve visibility, they only farm karma for their accounts to be later used for spam/scam.

If you are a living breathing person who wants to participate within the community by posting or commenting, comply to phcareers' minimum karma requirements (as already specified in your removal notification).
