I think comments get diminishing returns. If you check the user profile it is still in positive.

I don't know what reddit gold does but could they have given themselves those 12 to counteract the downvotes?

  No, its just some flair given to your post (and you) by someone donating money to reddit. In this context I imagine its meant as a small bit of snark.

  They can give themselves gold if they want. I'm not sure how it affects the downvotes, or if it does.

  EA just posted the most downvoted comment in history of the universe, by orders of magnitude. https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsBattlefront/comments/7cff0b/seriously_i_paid_80_to_have_vader_locked/dppum98/ https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsBattlefront/comments/7cff0b... People are actually "hate guilding": paying real money for reddit gold in order to send "fuck you" messages to EA that they can't ignore or mute in a locked thread. We may be witnessing the birth of a new business model.

As for cost, we selected initial values based upon data from the Open Beta and other adjustments made to milestone rewards before launch. Among other things, we're looking at average per-player credit earn rates on a daily basis, and we'll be making constant adjustments to ensure that players have challenges that are compelling, rewarding, and of course attainable via gameplay.

The amount of karma you can lose from a single comment is limited to a quite small number

    It's part of the anti-spam/anti-cheat system so the exact details are kept secret, but you can find a few places where people have done some experiments such as [0]. The exact behavior is not completely clear though, it might be a hard cutoff or it might be diminishing returns, possibly a combination, but at least people don't seem to lose even 100 karma even after 10Ks of downvotes.
