Topic: Downvotes, Invisibility, and Comments

Posted under General

First time checking out the forum, first time making a post. If there are rules on formatting, please point them out for future attempts at creating new forum topics.

Ok, I've made plenty of comments that get downvoted like hell. Sometimes I think I'm more clever than I am, and the helpful public here provide a much-needed boot to the face. But is it possible to make it so we can see downvoted comments in the profile comments section? I'd like to learn from my mistakes.

Or am I just blind to certain site tools and settings? I know about the blacklist, at least.

You can set the downvote visibility threshold in the user settings. This allows you to see all comments above that threshold though, not just your own. There's show own hidden comments but I don't think that applies to being hidden from you because it was downvoted

Thank you! Now I just need to hope I haven't made a comment that has earned 100 downvotes, and prepare myself for comments that skirt the line.
