DownvotedToOblivion

A link or phrase posted when people get lots of downvotes in a very short space of time. Users who are ‘officially’ considered to be Downvoted to Oblivion if they achieve a downvote score of less than -100. The most downvoted comment[1] in Reddit history (so far) was so notorious it even has its own entry in The Guinness World Records[2]. Posts, however, cannot reach less than 0 downvotes.

While that one is unlikely to be beaten, there are still some other spectacular scores[3] which occasionally, some users try to emulate. Why do people seek/farm downvotes? Who knows. But to prevent a race to the bottom, the maximum amount of negative karma you can have on your profile is -100. r/DownvotedToOblivion.
