I don't know who and why is downvoting my messages. I've got -120 negative points because of nothing since 1 week ago!!
1. Who is looking after this things here? How can I report it?
~~2. please do something that we will be able to monitor our voters.~~

Thanks in advanced Smile | :)

I'm convinced that this system should not be implemented. It might be implementable, but not with the way the reputation system is currently setup.

Cheers!

Ok Manfred. What's your idea about my problem? Someone is downvoting me and I don't know why?! I can guess who is behind of this but it's just a guess. If nobody stop the guy I will be under water as a debator! Big Grin | :-D

Do you have any idea?

No, I don't have any idea how this could be over come. As I already stated I do feel though that your idea cannot be implemented without some drastic changes to the voting system as currently implemented. Let me go into some detail here:
Right after the principle introduced in the modern fable Animal Farm: "Four legs good ,two legs bad ..." are not all ~~animals~~ CP members equal. Some members are "more equal" than others, meaning to say that the impact of a vote a member with a high reputation in a certain category casts is greater than the impact of the vote of a member with a low reputation in that same category. Only in a group or society where everybody has the same power is anonymous voting obsolete. The anonymity protects the weak.
That is one of the reasons why casting ones vote in an election is an anonymous process.

One final idea though I'm sure it will not be well received:
So when power comes with responsibilty so why not also do we have to be held accountable for our actions.
Meaning: When somebody with a high impact votes, the identity will be revealed to the receiver of said vote and a reason for the vote will have to be given analogous to what is already implemented in the article section.

Cheers!

Thank you Manfred. you're right. I've changed my mind about my suggestion. But I don't know the downvoter and I can't report him/her but I think the admin knows him/her and is able to consider it.

( And also I love Animal Farm Book Smile | :)

Ignore it.
If you pay attention to it, then the univoter (if there is one operating here) knows he is getting somewhere by down-voting you. If you ignore it, it becomes a waste of time and energy to do it.

We all pick up a down-voter from time to time - generally because we say something they do not agree with - ignore 'em and they will go away.

Yes OriginalGriff,
I think it's better to act on your advice.
Thank you Smile | :)

"If"... .

There's always one kicking around somewhere here, isn't there?

I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

Commercial spam disguised as a question

4-Jun-12 9:25

Yeah!

But that doesn't mean that this is one person - I haven't looked at the OP message history, so there could be any reason for a bunch of one votes. It doesn't have to a campaign against him! Laugh | :laugh:

I think this is commercial spam:

Probably, OriginalGriff answered seriously just by mistake.
