    You only know how many downrates you've gotten on your Activity or Feedback pages in your profile.

    And, since negative ratings can be given for "not helpful" questions or answers (the original purpose), OR because someone doesn't LIKE the question, answer, or person who asked it, OR because someone's playing games with the leaderboards or order of answers as they would appear in the questions (based on ratings). Since the latter two occur so much, it's impossible for us to learn anything from being DRed, and knowing how many DRs we've received. (based on your answer, this is what you wish to do)

    There is no way.
    But there should be a way to find out how many negative ratings we got, no matter how many more positive ratings were there. Knowing it would help us make the necessary corrections to our approach.
    That negetive ratings are there for practically all questions and answers is clear from the the fact that our overall performance ratings show points subtracted and net points earned.
    What I want is a split up of negetive ratings for each question or answer that every member posts on topics of interest to me.
    Am I being unreasoable?
