Hey how does someone wind up with a score of 2? I read somewhere if someone gets flagged or downvoted. I don't even see an option on here for a downvote. Just curious how someone's score goes lower?

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.
Hey matt, thanks for the explaination. i've heard people talk about downvotes but never really knew what they meant
