Could someone who downvoted explain their disagreement? There seems a kernel of truth here that more than a few of us could agree on.

- sneak 7y agoI think I have attracted someone’s ire, that seems to happen to all or most of my comments within a short window after posting.
- remotecool 7y agoThis happened to me for awhile too. I think people that disagreed with you on a previous post are using bots to downvote you.
- mandelbrotwurst 7y agoThis would surprise me given the fairly high karma minimum to downvote.
- novok 7y agoMake a new account every time you reach the threshold, add it to the bot list.
- mandelbrotwurst 7y agoYeah, I thought of that, I was just thinking that surely someone able to create sufficient karma to do something like that would necessarily also be unlikely to be petty enough to bother. Maybe I am too charitable.
- novok 7y agoYou can gain karma fairly casually by just using the site, you get 1 karma per comment, so it's easy to make it a passive activity. The site has also been around for over a decade, lots of opportunity to accumulate.
