The little flag on the right of each post or comment is the downvote.
If I downvote someone's post, I use up some of my voting power and stand to gain no reward, so it's something people are reticent to do unless it's really warranted.
But just like a whale can make you rich and drive your reputation up quickly, he can also destroy it quickly.
I'd suggest our friend attracted some negative attention from a heavy hitter, who then flagged not just that post, but many more in his profile.
I've seen someone in the negatives before.
