Guess it finally happened to me. Got hit by a univoter. Interesting.

Maybe he will downvote this too.

Looked at the profile for the voter, and it is interesting (Wouter Huysentruit[^]). Seems like it is a dummy.

Not necessarily, I'm just saying, you can expect a downvote on an answer that the poster of the question didn't want to receive.

Yup, precisely.

If the slap of continued down-votes doesn't cause them to re-examine their question asking 'skills', then you just ignore them and give them nothing. Deleting the question means it isn't there anymore - dissallowing any further downvotes to punish the poster - it also _removes_ any downvotes they've already accrued from the question.

You can also re-tag the question as being 'homework' 'gimmeCodez' or something else suitably descriptive and er, 'flattering'

On the rare occasion that this behaviour is not understood and is questioned directly by the poster, I try to make an effort to do both of (a) point out the aspects of the post that are likely to incense the locals (b) offer a suggestion for a different approach that has the same goal.

I'm continually surprised by (a) the number of people that dont 'get it' and so ask questions about their harsh treatment and (b) the number of times the answers to these questions appear to be heeded.

A 'like' button without a 'dislike' button does not a useful feedback system make.. (cough, cough FB)

I am curious how you knew who the down-voter was: I thought it was not possible on CP, unless, of course, the down-voter told you who they were.

thanks, Bill

They downvoted an article. I managed to figure out who it really is, but not going to publish the real name. The person has a 2nd account apparently for the few times they want to downvote.

I noticed your posts contain many terms that in Belgium are considered to be expressions of raical hatred. I assumed you were some kind of neo-Nazi until I figured out you had no idea what you were saying.
