The amount of Karma you can lose per comment is capped (-4? -5? Somewhere in there), and the ability to downvote goes away after 24 hours, so no. It effectively can only go up over time.
You'd have to be intentionally trolling in multiple threads constantly to get it to go down by any significant amount. 'Cause even if you have a divisive comment, as long as it's not trolling, it will usually end up at 0 in the long run as people upvote it after the 24 hour mark.
- petodo 4y agoIt's shame posting limits or comment/post throttling is not clearly communicated and we have to only guess, for instance I am pretty sure the cap is even lower than shown, you can get downvoted into oblivion and not just -4, which stops you from commenting since then some severe posting limits are imposed. Not sure how can you then provide counterarguments when there is bunch of people brigading on you and you are supposed to discuss with them when they just decide they downvote you and limit you to what 5-10 comments per day, then whole point of discussion is meaningless and it's no point even try to exchange opinions when you know how it will end up.
