idk man i was just wondering what if there was a section for Top Comments AND for Top Downvoted Comments? like idk how that would happen but i guess it'd be cool just so there's an easy way to know who's there and who's square, am i right?

Note that if there are two identical comments, one can be very upvoted and one very downvoted depending on where (and sometimes when) they were posted.

That's quite impressive, Muffin.

But to make a more serious response to the thread. No. Having a "Top Downvotes" section is a terrible idea. We already have a problem of extreme negativity and downvote bombing in the comments sections, having a place that puts the bottom of the barrel comments front and center would most likely make that worse. Also, having bad/downvoted posts glorified will encourage people to purposefully shitpost for the sake of popularity, and we don't want that.

How did you know that?

Honestly I just find this kind of stuff really interesting, and so I try to find out as much about it as possible.

Here is the most upvoted forum post of all time.
As for the lowest downvoted forum post, this is the most downvoted I could find.
Edit: Also, here is the most downvoted forum post I could find that was downvoted unironically. (Not from the Neg Karma Thread)
