Absolute vote counts are not that high. It would've only taken one or two stragglers to find the thread and turn some comments positive again while pushing others more negative. I wouldn't call that "restoring order", but it's not unexpected either.
- Spare_account 6y agoHow do you see absolute vote counts? I only see that for my own comments (and I have no way of knowing if it is fuzzed/obfuscated for me too).
- yorwba 6y agoFor negative scores, you can kind of tell based on how grayed out it is. And while there's a lower bound at -4, I don't think HN does any scaling to translate vote counts into the scores it displays to you (but it does when calculating the contribution to total karma, where submission scores count half).
