Maybe we’ve got a troll who’s built a down/up voting script? I noticed a weird downswing in my own points a while back, and couldn’t figure out what the heck was causing it. I don’t mind negative points for controversial arguments, that’s just sometimes how it works. But I hadn’t thought I’d made any particularly spicy posts so dunno.

I've never even noticed my points.  Are they worth anything?  Do they mean anything.  After a certain number of minus points, are you kicked off of The Cardboard?

On the version of the board in effect in 2014, a poster who sunk to the level of -50 was dismissed.  In addition, the most-upvoted posts were in an external section called "Messages of the Week."  In 2015, we didn't vote on posts or members at all.
