Pretty much anything saying THE CLOUD isn't the one true way of the world, and thanking the STARS Amazon Cloud and all of its features exist regardless of price (or any Cloud provider). I've done this a few times, even backed with financial data. Got down voted to hell.
I don't moderate my posts without good cause, and even in those cases I tend to append edits instead of changing content--a practice both more honest and respectful of others.
I can count on one hand the number of posts I've deleted, only two of which were in poor enough taste that I felt strongly enough to remove them.
Your karma score, beyond a perhaps ten or so points, is inconsequential--if you write things that are worth reading, you need not fear reprisal. An individual post (or posts, or thread) may lose you a few or a few dozen or a few hundred points of PG Funbucks, but if you generally engage in thoughtful discussion it is only a temporary setback.
I believe it would be very much a loss were everyone here to self-censor because they're afraid of losing points in a token economy.
Think clearly, write carefully, and post fearlessly.

Asking stupid questions for one.
If only I could down vote this stupidly pointless post.
