I believe my HN account got slapped with an automatic down rating adjustment quite a long time ago (that applies to anything I post here, automatically lowering my comment positioning). For example, when I posted my comment initially, it was instantly ranked below a gray-shaded 'negative value' comment from a user with a lower karma rating than myself. Anything I post on HN automatically starts at the bottom of the pile. I suspect if you could check my account it has a flag set on it.

I meant that your comment appeared greyed out for me (indicating that people had downvoted you). Are you saying that your comment score was not <0?

If you think there's an issue with your account, you could email the HN admins to see if it can be fixed (hn@ycombinator.com).
