The vote system is explained here. Theoretically a strong upvote from a power user could reach +16 votes, although I think the maximum anyone’s gotten to is +10.
I think the system is kinda weird (although it benefits me), but it’s better now that the agreevotes are counted equally.
Mousing over the original comment, it currently has 69 votes which has somehow managed to average to a karma of 1. Seems to have split the crowd exactly evenly.
The forum has a thing where people with more karma have more upvote/downvote power (at least this was a thing last year. I presume it still is).
This means that even though you got −14 in minutes, that might just be 2 people downvoting in total.
Worth keeping in mind.
Someone else feel free to point out I am mistaken if I am indeed mistaken.
