Result of negative vote(s):

• If there are more negative votes than positive, the deal is hidden on new deals page & categories page for visitors and users with default settings.
• All comments by the user who cast the negative vote are highlighted with a negative vote symbol.
• If the negative votes are cast against a deal posted by a rep, this will increase the time period between their next subsequent post.

When negative votes are revoked:

• The community casts a number of negative comment votes to any comment by the user casting the deal votes.
• A moderator deems your vote to be invalid as it doesn't conform to voting guidelines.
• If too many negative votes are revoked for a user, then this will result in the loss of negative voting abilities for 90 days.
