I think this comment has significantly more negative karma than it did when I last saw it, by which point it was already unendorsed.
I think downvoting a comment once it’s been unendorsed is very bad form, and creates bad incentives that work directly against what the unendorse feature is supposed to achieve. If I’m right that people have been doing this, I think they should stop, and preferably undo their votes.
(If people have been downvoting a comment after it was already unendorsed because they wanted it to get hidden-by-default, I think that’s even worse.)
I’d endorse a feature where unendorsing a comment prevented further karma changes, or reverted karma to 0, or something. Probably there are important wrinkles here. But I’m in favour of the general class of thing I’m waving at.
