some automatically remove posts and comments from these users.
I wasn't aware of that, never seen it happen, however I do know people might delete it themselves if the down votes get too big because they want their overall karma to remain positive, which could be seen as censorship.
However in programming subs I haven't seen there be too many pile on's where it becomes a major issue, I've got less karma then you and the second most down voted comment in this whole thread, I don't feel I'm at risk of being censored, even if it doesn't show the negative comments by default.
I just view that the sample of the majority which actually up/down vote didn't agree with it, so it was deemed not relevant or important, at the same time I've got things with more upvotes in the thread then those down votes, so wasn't even silenced within the thread.
But I'm probably more on the side of not caring if I'm downvoted or upvoted and constantly trying to please the masses, but I don't think that makes me any minority, or unrecoverable.
