This was posted a while back. I'm not sure if the part about getting negative points from downvotes is right, but other than that it seems to match my experience.
Thanks! I've never seen my points drop so I am thinking if it was part of it maybe it's not anymore. THANK GOODNESS!!! can you imagine the mean things a person could do!?!?

I think maybe at one time it was. I was a few points from 30k and a new icon and got into a scrap with a dipshit, the next morning I was down about a thousand points. But I dont know what the deal is now.
How long ago? I haven't noticed since I started in early January.

That was last year, octoberish. My early days. We still had the downvote bar. I checked all my memes and saw my downvotes had increased. The ones that had none, suddenly had one so on a so forth.
It might be possible that it's stored somehow, so that your score doesn't go down, but if someone downvotes you, it cancels out the next upvote, maybe? I'm not sure.
