Not sure why, but when I clicked on 'A HN post with negative points – how?' from the HN home page it led to the post we're currently on (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48104663), but I think it should have led here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48106316

A bug!?

-4 points on this submission? What? How did that happen? I've never seen it go negative.

My theory is either fudging the display (add/remove votes to prevent people from knowing the real count), or there’s a secret API that some bot found and exploited.

Or maybe it uses negative points when it detects bad actors voting/commenting on it? Just spitballing of course.

Do a get a biscuit or something for somehow managing this?

Interestingly on the Harmonic client on my Android phone it is claiming -10 points. Very odd.

Hacker News uses the D&D 2e ruleset. You’re doing great… if you want everyone to miss your post.

It won't even upvote it to -3. Integer overflow?

It's generic, but I wouldn't say there are any obvious LLM patterns. Unless I'm missing something?

“This isn’t just a supposition — I have proof!” was one I noticed at a glance. Also the many bulleted lists.

Long-tail deviation from added random noise?
