Well, people's opinions about 'useful' comments varies, I guess. But, I do feel your pain. But as we don't get minus Rep for downvotes these days, does it really matter?
Oh, and are you talking about your Kiron Tor Offensive Tabard comment? I can see why that one is downrated :)
Cheers.

I mean really? I have seen lots of useful comments been down voted. I have also seen that if your comments have been down voted once they will always been down voted. There should be thing when you down vote it would ask why you want to down vote it. Could you please do that couse Im really pissed off at the moment.
I want to try and reply to this quickly before people start posting lots of replies in frustration.
But as we don't get minus Rep for downvotes these days, does it really matter?
Oh yes, it really maters. We want good comments to be voted up, and bad comments to be voted down. If good comments are being voted down, then the site suffers.
To respond to you Tush, we understand that sometimes people will vote comments down which are new or already have downvotes. We have systems which track how people vote, and how quickly they vote. If we see patterns we restore the votes and send warnings to those users. We get these reports daily and action on them daily. We have restored ALOT of votes.
Getting a comment rolling on some upvotes can be a tough process, but good comments which are formatted well, and use correct grammar and formatting will often get the recognition they deserve. If you have examples of comment which you believe are being unfairly downvote, you can always email links to . We might find something out about the voter which you may not see.
We love our comments, we want the comment system to work, because it is what makes Wowhead one best places to go to find information.
Cheers,
Hat

Hey Tush,
No offense man, but I've looked at all your comments. They are not adding any useful information to what is being discussed, just fairly offhand comments and maybe jokey in nature. If you want to have your comments upvoted, add a useful comment that adds some information that others will find useful.
Cheers.
