I don't know the exact details (or, this may be all there is to it), but, I've seen a few people mention that votes below -4 are still counted, but the total will never be shown anything lower. IIRC, someone compared it to the (in)famous orange dot experiment.
- tlrobinson 16y agoCorrect, I believe that behavior is in place to discourage people from piling on lots of down votes.
- coderdude 16y agoWhich I don't know how effective that is. There are a lot of people who don't mind "topping them off" at 5, only to become the 30th person to down-vote them.
- robryan 16y agoYeah I assumed that the limit was -5 without thinking about it to much. Some people have put something stupid in really popular threads and lost a stack.
- tlrobinson 16y agoTrue. It would be interesting to see the distribution of negatively voted comments before and after the display limit was implemented. pg?
