Common mistakes are basically anything that is the opposite of what is contained in the SR Wiki; check here for the protocols to follow to ensure mistakes can't happen:

Hey, this is the second post of mine that you've answered promptly with solid info.  As a new user can I kick you some good karma or are there prerequisites to that similar to the 50 post minimum?

And thanks...

More than happy to help! :)
The ability to award karma (both positive and negative) becomes available once you reach 100 posts; and that horrible captcha is removed at that time too, so there's a lot to look forward to. :P

 :) got it.
Last one and I'll leave you alone, so then how can I figure out why I have a -1 karma when I've only been here at couple of days and interacted with very few people.  I don't know if my online self-esteem can handle it.   :'(

You can't see who has given you karma, nor why, but don't worry about it - seriously. Some people just like handing out karma, both positive and negative, simply for the fun of it. It's not a major thing. Be helpful and interesting around the community and you'll see your positives begin to greatly outweigh your negatives. :)
