HN won't show a value below a -4 point score on a particular post regardless of how many times it's downvoted (though one could infer based on how low the contrast of the text is within that range). In any case, the number of points for a particular post is only visible to the author of that post, so even if a post has a large number of upvotes, it won't really stand out other than being close to the top of the main thread (or subthread).
