I think you can only downvote fairly recent comments and there is a rate limit on how frequently you can comment so even if someone did do that the damage would appear to be fairly low.
On a positive note it looks like you can always upvote comments no matter how old they are.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoYou can only downvote in the first 24 hours. You can only downvote if you have over 500 karma. Most users with over 500 karma have better things to do than monitor someone else every 24 hours. Could it happen? Sure. Should the site disallow it? Probably, though if it doesn't actually happen it seems a waste to write the code to prevent it.
- jawns 6y agoIt would be hard for the affected user to know this is happening, so it seems as if the only way to know whether it happens is to write the code first.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoDepends on how it was done. If you saw every single post that was downvotable drop by one point, you might email dang and ask him to look at it. If you weren't watching that closely, or if it was spread out over the day, then... yeah, you probably wouldn't know.
