Perhaps your post getting flagged counts as negative karma too?

Anyway, karma discussions are generally off topic here so you may experience similar effect with this post.

If it was flagged I wasn't notified. No idea why it would be though.

Anyone can flag a post or comment (look for that "flag" on the top line), and it does not result in any notification.

No, I have an old post that's marked as "flagged" but not that one.

Posts don't get marked as "flagged" or "dead" on the first "flag" by someone: I ain't sure of the threshold, and I am merely guessing, but trying to tell you not to bother with this — it doesn't really matter, HN has some non-transparent rules and we all accept to live by them believing they are right in spirit most of the time.
