There could be two reasons for this. Either, someone downvoted one or many of your posts, or there’s a bug in [Lamernews](https://github.com/antirez/lamernews).
At the moment of writing, no one has upvoted this news. Since “1 up” is the default for every news.
Beside that, I generally like Crockford’s conventions, but I think his whitespace rules are bollocks…
