I took a look, and I suspect it's because a user left three comments and then deleted them all. It's probably the comment counter mistakenly thinking it should subtract one for each removed comment.
hey im the commenter on that post, i saw the -3 aswell but didnt think much of it. The reason i think its in the negitive because when i went to delete the origanal comments (the 3 currently deleted ones) they kept on reappearing when i had deleted them, so i kept on deleting until they didnt popup again. the comments should be deleted. ( i use lemmur so it might be a bug in the lemmur app) If your wondering what the comments were the first one was something along the lines of "i dont speak arabic" because it looked like arabic and the other two were "please can someone translate" and me copy and pasting the 2nd parragraph from google translate to english.
I suspect it's not registering the plus three and just subtracting three. Again, it's an error/bug so it doesn't make sense.
