| Dec 15, 2016 at 7:18 | comment | added | Martijn Pieters | I'm assuming you are talking about Super User here. I see only 3 votes. The comments are from different users, one of which is automatically placed when reviewing from the review queue. You can't at all conclude that any of those users also did the voting. Three votes is not enough to form a pattern so moderators indeed do not have the tools to investigate further there. The votes where also cast today, which is. It enough for an automated reversal to have taken place. I'm afraid the moderator response was correct here. | |
| Dec 15, 2016 at 7:10 | comment | added | Quidam | Told me that some of the downvotes were severe, but he has no tool to investigate. And he told me that before I ask anything, I was just complaining and not saying the name of the user. | |
| Dec 15, 2016 at 7:09 | comment | added | Quidam | It's an hostile behaviour to visit every replies from an user and downvoting all of them. Even if I know some of my replies could be improved It's not the right way to do it, it's just demoralizing, hostile, and harassing. If people downvotes all replies that are not 100% perfect, nobody will go on. | |
| Dec 15, 2016 at 7:07 | comment | added | Quidam | No, he didn't, but I deduced that. Because I've explained how I feel about being downloaded several times in a raw by the same user in a very short time (2 minutes). This user let some remarks on some of the downvotes. I think he tried to ask me to improve my answers, I did. Some of downvotes may have been legit, so there are no problems, but some are very severe. The things I can't stand is that he visited even old replies, to downvote everything. If he come across my replies, and feels they are not good, there is no problem, but the other other is harassment. | |
| Dec 15, 2016 at 7:06 | comment | added | Martijn Pieters | @PERCE-NEIGE of course, it could also be that the evidence shows the votes where not targeted at you specifically, at which point the votes will not be reverted either. | |
| Dec 15, 2016 at 7:02 | comment | added | Martijn Pieters | @PERCE-NEIGE I doubt they told you they don't care. There may not be enough evidence to investigate (we can't see individual votes, only patterns with a minimal threshold). If the voting continues then we'd have more evidence and you should flag again. | |
| Dec 15, 2016 at 7:00 | comment | added | Quidam | Thanks for your reply. The moderator doesn't care and told me he has no tool to investigate. | |
| Dec 15, 2016 at 6:55 | comment | added | Martijn Pieters | @PERCE-NEIGE my answer already tells you what to do: flag and ask the moderators to investigate. | |
| Dec 15, 2016 at 6:37 | comment | added | Quidam | I need to now more about this script. I had 5 downvots by the same user, visiting some of my old answers, made several months ago. It's REALLY unfaire, and hostile. The person can going on downvoting me by visiting every new question or answer I make, so tell me if you punish that kind of behaviour. | |

| Mar 12, 2013 at 12:00 | comment | added | gnat | @Karna if you flag, consider also referring to this meta question in your flag message; that way it would be easier to moderators to get the background and discuss details of the issue | |
| Mar 12, 2013 at 11:37 | comment | added | Martijn Pieters | @Karna: We already detect serial downvoting, but automated detection can only go so far. In the (rare) cases where it fail to detect a specific anomalous pattern, the moderators can step in. | |
| Mar 12, 2013 at 11:35 | comment | added | Madara's Ghost | There are automatic scripts that aim to reverse such cases. They sometimes slip under the radar. In that case, call a human exception handler (a moderator). | |
| Mar 12, 2013 at 11:17 | comment | added | Ajinkya | Its already been more than 24 hours. Will try flagging..I think others must be suffering from such lame attacks so don't we have anything to detect and prevent it? | |
