So I and rproffitt both downvoted a bot.
I went over to it's profile, we have apparently total power of 7 in reputation decrease. I expected -7 in reputation, instead it has 7 reputation. That minus is pretty important.
It also says Lam Bang (7) instead of Lam Bang (-7). It feels like people downvoting trolls are actually endorsing them.
Also, when two people downvote a response, how does it become "Featured Answer"?!

Thumbs up next to reputation points shows only for first post. Has no bonding on negative or positive points. It's one who created the topic. Look at this posts' indicator. No thumbs up.
Also, it's profile also says 7 in reputation points.
Will fix. :)
The featured response thing was a logic bug. Now as far as the guy's reputation, I recalculated it but am unable to replicate the problem. Also, I could have sworn I typed this post out hours earlier. Did I forget to hit the submit button?
