Public boards announcement
To stop starting your comments and posts with "probably going to get downvoted for this." Me and a lot of other people will downvote you and not read anything else. I take this as you have no confidence in your post and you don't think it is a good post. Therefore, I will not even read it. You are basically just asking for downvotes, or trying to be tricky and think that people will upvote you for it. Whatever. Not sure. Just stahp doing it :D
You wouldn't walk into a presentation and say, "Guy, you probably will think my presentation sucks....." would you? Nope.
