If someone answers a question, under tag discussion, then that answer is downvoted once, so he/she has (-1) on that answer now.
After some time someone upvotes the answer and now he/she has (0) votes on it with +8 reputation. Will that upvote count toward getting the bronze discussion tag, or since it's (0) then he/she won't get that upvote, won't be counted toward getting that tag?
The downvote cancels the upvote.
The tag badges are awarded as a function of the net number of votes (along with a minimum number of questions answered on that tag). Note further that this net number is not subject to daily reputation capping.
