I have already contacted the administrator about it, but he said that the votes on my posts and comments seem legitimate as far as he checked.
But I still highly doubt so.
Here is a pattern that I notice:
- On every single post and comment I made, without exception, there is at least one downvote.
- Also, these downvotes keep appearing all at once (i.e. when the mass-downvoter sends his next wave of downvotes)
- My score recently dropped from +12 to -19 within one hour without any new posts. The only way this this could have happened is that someone speervoted me.
I highly suspect that it's the same account downvoting everything I post and comment, because the happenings speak in favour of that theory.
These targeted downvotes can impossibly be legitimate.
I am writing this because many more people might be affected. It is a loophole and might discourage many more users.
I suggest implementing automated algorithms that prevent speervoting, which is an abuse of the voting systems.
Also, I kindly ask any administrator to confirm that the mass-downvotes on my submissions and comments are not coming from the same user.
That's Ok. I suggest you to hide my content by blocking me.
Indeed. I just intended to warn infront of the loophile.
The problem isn't just that I have downvote virus (a hater determined to downvote everything I post), but also that if it can happen to one user, it means there's some kind of loophole in the system that allows it to happen in the first place. It could be exploited in the future.
