Happens all the time, I wouldn't worry about it, just ignore it.

Ok, I wrote a tampermonkey extension to hide the effects of being downvoted: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/9d681310f4714277a37832643c...
It removes scores from your comments and replaces your karma counter with "(9999)".
HN is much more pleasant now.
Hah, that's a cool solution.

OT, have you noticed an increase in superfluous downvoting? I'm not really complaining, just trying to figure out if I'm imagining it or if it's randomness doing its thing.
Since HN has become so much bigger, I wonder if the mods could scale down the effect of downvoting. E.g. make it take two downvotes to make a comment appear at 0.
