The 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.
Hah, here's the prof https://qht.co/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).
-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.
Actually 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.
