Yes, of course. Downvotes are not shown (past the 5th), but karma losses are. Just as described in my parent comment:

No, it doesn't do that. I think it did at one point, when we were experimenting, but it hasn't since at least March 2015.

Wow. How recently? IIRC, that faq (though helpful) is out of date in sections. I assumed that that was one of them.

[thaumasiotes → grzm]

Not all that recently, but I see no reason to assume the behavior has changed.

And you're probably as willing as I to test its current status :). Cheers for clarifying this for me.
