Good thing HN has a max of 11 downvotes (I know first hand), but I get your point, fanboyism here is strong.

- leak 15y agoI never knew that! This opens up so many more opportunities to comment! Thanks!
- igorgue 15y agoHah, here's the prof http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3196443 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3196443 (I don't think there's any more unpopular comment you can make here) see it's -4 that shows but realistically I think I had -11 downvotes (it might be -10).
- chc 15y ago-4 is the lowest score a comment can achieve. Downvotes past -4 won't reduce the post's score, but they will keep draining karma from the user. I don't think there's actually a limit on that.
- corin_ 15y agoActually they will reduce the comment's score too, it just won't show. The difference is that if it is showing -4 and someone upvotes it, it won't neccesarily go to -3, because it's actual score could be much lower.
- dman 15y agoAre you sure? I appeared to lose a lot more than 11 per post on this thread - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3248916 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3248916.
- nirvana 15y agoThe irony, of course, is that the person in this thread whose defending the iPhone is best on all sides by ignorant fanboys engaging in down votes... they've even managed to bury unrelated threads that I commented on, simply because I commented on them! Hacker News is a rabidly anti-iPhone, anti-Apple, and anti-innovation, and anti-technology site. Or at least its overrun with ideologues with those characterisitcs.
