Why can’t posts be downvoted into negative rating? I tried (only for the sake of experiment) downvoting Marshal’s post, but it stayed at 0. Or is there a hidden variable rating R that visualizes as max(R,0)?

That’s how things work on reddit, so my guess is that’s how it is here too.
Edit: What’s up with Marshall’s karma score? Perhaps karma is being stored as an unsigned integer?
See this thread about the problem with Karma underflow.
