Are negative-karma users unable to upvote posts?
I had posted a comment somewhere which seemed like blatant advertising, which I had not intended it to be. I gained some negative karma points. :)
I'm trying to up vote my own post someone had submitted, but it doesn't look like I can. Is this intentional?

Another is to register with a new, fresh account and start over with 1 point of karma. If necessary you can always return to this account when you have something really good to contribute, and this resurrect it.
