Well you could use your patented delete-and-repost method here!

Actually, no, I can't. Most of the messages have replies., and it's now 14 1-votes.
Like I said, it's abuse of the system. Plain and simple.

This is one reason to use the Back Room (it does not support voting).

Countered them, and came to the conclusion the one-voter is of equal reputation as me (so you now have a bunch of 3's in the, hey at least it's no longer grey  )

Were the 1s removed?
Playing devil's advocate here. What if whoever voted eleven 1s to John's posts in that thread was doing it because he felt those posts deserved 1s? How do you decide if it's someone blindly voting 1s versus someone actually thinking those votes deserve 1s?

Don't know if it's possible but I think so.
11 1-votes is enough to be suspicious.
Then Chris could just compare the time stamps on those votes.
If they all occurred from the same person in under a minute or 2 it's blindly voting cause I don't think you can read 11 posts in 2 min (and all the reply's as to get a good understanding).

Well you could read an entire thread and then do the voting in one go. It's kinda subjective - voting I mean, so you can't always assume someone's blindly abusing the voting system.
When I posted about christian-conversion in India in the GIT forum, one Platinum member gave me six 1 votes in a space of 1 minute. He admitted it too later on. Of course I didn't get my knickers in a knot over it since I just ignored it and moved on. But point is, while I think his votes were unfair I also believe he was within his rights to vote as he wished. The last thing I want is someone like Chris playing morality advocate and deleting those votes and saving me those -96 points.

I guess that's true but can you then honestly claim that you have a problem with every single one of the posts you one-voted.
Or did you (not you per se ) just have a problem with one of the posts and decided that all the rest of the post should suffer as well.
But as you say voting is highly subjective, a post I might consider funny someone else might consider it insulting.

That gets my 5 - why is everyone so bothered about reputation?

I said "I've had a word with the person responsible".
I didn't say I'd removed anything.

I'm glad, mine was just 30+ 1-votes.

How do you know that the discussions in the Chinese and Indian forums are of the general kind? Since there's only one forum for each language, simply "<language> Forum" would make a more correct title.

Because that's what I've defined them to be. I'm trusting in the community and the moderators to keep things in order. "Forum" doesn't provide any guidance.

The various editors that are currently in place for writing messages answers, etc, are driving me crazy. Moving the mouse outside the edit field causes the text to scroll to the top of the message being type. Please put it back to the way it was and stop hholding our hands while we type. I know you guys are trying to make the site better, but this crap is really starting to PISS ME OFF. It's almost IMPOSSIBLE to type a message.
I liken the automatic paste detection to that MS Word abomination, "Clippy".

I have tried and tried and cannot for the life of me replicate what you are seeing. Walk me through it, please. My understanding is
In IE7 or 8:
- you type a message that's more than 1 line, and, say, more than 1 page. The mouse is at the bottom of the text
- you move the mouse outside the message edit box (and click elsewhere on the form our outside the browser window?) and the text box scrolls so that you are now viewing the first line. Is the cursor also being moved?
This is a bug or it's an issue with your setup. I can be nasty and vindictive, but even this is beyond my evil schemes. I'll work to make life less unpleasant.
