> HN's software puts a floor of -4 on downvoted comments.
- walterbell 6y agoHas that always been the case, or was that added in recent years? I've seen more than 4 downvotes on a comment in approx 2015 era. It was noticeable because it wasn't about the comment content, but all my comments on one story were being downvoted. By the time it stopped an hour or two later, total karma was down more than 40 points. Good to see there is now a floor on downvotes.
- corin_ 6y agoYeah it was definitely the case back when you could see other people's comment scores that there were often examples far lower than -4. Don't know when the change was made, this subject has made me notice just how long ago I first joined HN and the last time I thought about how the voting works was definitely years ago.
