How did my karma go from 70+ to 27. When I only got -4 downmods. Are there some unwritten karma rules at work here?


Comments at -4 can still be voted down, but the displayed score will not go any lower. (I'm not certain of the rationale, but I think it's to somewhat discourage excessive downvotes just to make a public show of disapproval/disagreement.)


Why can't I vote comments down? I think it's bad form to kick a comment while it's down :)


Users with (I think) at least 200 points can downvote.
