Should negative votes count for top comment ranking?
Often the top rated comments are comments with multiple negative votes. I don’t believe negative comments should be given top billing or elevated.
Should comments with negative votes be eligible for the top rated comments, or should they be ineligible?

Voting for this poll ended in a tie between Yes, leave it as is and just count votes, positive or negative and No, comments with negative vote counts should not be considered for top comments.
I know I'm late to the party (of one) but the way things are at the moment I personally find it useful to have negative votes count. The comments are being flagged as rubbish, and I like to read that rubbish and judge it for myself.
If it were things like spam getting downvoted then obviously it would be better if it didn't count.
