ModDB removed '- karma' from creators and authors.
Authors are people that posted content. (Like GypsyBastard on this image)
Creators are admins of pages. (Like Sanguinius here on HSP)
You are the admin of your own profile, if you go to the comments there you will see that you can't receive '- karma', just like how I can't receive it on my own profile.
This only applies in places you are an admin or in content you posted, no matter where you posted it. Anywhere else you can still receive '- karma'.
I guess I can understand that, I've got some friends whose profile pages were getting routinely visited by people who'd just downvote all their comments regardless of content, because of a grudge. Happened to me once, though never again.
But, on the other hand, authors and admins sometimes deserve to be downvoted, so... eh. It's karma, who really cares.
When it itch. It can't be helped, then to "scratch" :3
You bastard! you gypsy bastard! How can you have only "+" karma sign!
I call hax!
I've noticed this has been happening to a lot of comments as of late, look below this one for more examples...

Huh, interesting. I was unaware of that.
Is there a blog post somewhere explaining the logic behind that, or no?
It was added at the same time the comment tags ('Author', 'Creator' and 'Staff' for ModDB/IndieDB staff) were added.
They didn't mention it on the news announcing comment tags, but people asked on the comments and they replied.
The news is here, just go down to nearly the bottom of the first page of comments and it's there, replies from TKAzA, Erayser and INtense!.

Huh, interesting. Thanks for the link.

Hax.
They're all hax0rs sent to ModDb by Iluminati, you can't cover the truth forever. I know. We know.
Hax
So, Authors are always right ?
Them spiders are biting me every day...
I still wonder while he didnt let Francine let it scratch for him :D
I always get spider bites in my pants when I'm exploring the internet.
Now Stan and Francine were a mighty fine pair. But the man had an itch that an ox couldn't scratch.
