I just got an interesting message that there had been maliceous voting on my account. Minus almost 6000 reputation.

Interesting question was if I perhaps created an additional account to vote for myself?

Seriously?
For God's sake I posted this! Please tell me if this is a joke. You cannot take 6000 reputation from someone and expect him or her to stay around. I never ever did a single maliceous act here. In short:

I am paying for a crippled detection system

Count me out, I am off.

    A.B. and Fabby lost much more ;-) There are not many people who wrote many good answers. And it is not surprising that they upvoted each other without any cheating.

  • Not 2. I thing about 10 are affected. I did not dig deep.

    Jacob, this is not that important though. Take it easy, even if it is not fair.

    This doesn't sound like serial voting to me; it sounds like a glitch.

  • @Pilot6 Thanks, I appreciate it a lot. I really think however this is fair, and really, it breaks my motivation completely, and not even so much for the points; it demasks the system.

    Every system has glitches from time to time. The motivation is not only points. For me it is not. I post more at forums where there are no points at all.

    The funny thing is reverting accepts from random users.

  • @Pilot6 absolutely, but where the system's psychology is built on the Pavlov- green candy, a major demotivation on a major push down shouldn't be a surprise.

  • Is it possible that some user who had passed out a lot of votes deleted his/her account?

  • @anonymous2 It is not related to deleted posts at all.

  • @anonymous2 no, I got a notification why the minus was. As mentioned, with a nice question if I perhaps used an additional account for upvoting me? The words in my mind that pop up then are no good here. Nor anywhere else.

    @JacobVlijm We all know these people who lost the points today. They are not the same person. And they are not even friendly to each other in some cases ;-)
