Stay further away from the 6 to 8 meme.

Just bold is sufficient.

| May 8, 2020 at 3:36 | comment | added | Dioxin | "Do nothing", followed by the implication of "trust that SO will do it justice" is baffling. Sounds like the lack of proper systems, being covered up by "it'll resolve itself". This has happened far too many times, a lot in cases where people get upset that their answer gets debunked. I'd like to see the data on how often these situations are resolved by the "automatic system", or even through direct contact. I understand that there's not much to do with what we currently have, but this answer is definitely no attempt to step in the direction to solve the problem. | |

adding a note that moderator can't act in almost all those cases, unless it's clear who the serial downvoter is

| Jun 22, 2017 at 14:45 | comment | added | TARKUS | @AndyT I think your idea that people are going to look at my profile when I post an answer is a good one. Maybe you are right. Also, you wouldn't know this, but my answers sometimes get really nasty responses, even by high ranking members with high rep scores. I have also been asked offline (like on Skype) to up vote or down vote answers, so I think it happens. | |
| Jun 22, 2017 at 13:10 | comment | added | AndyT | @TARKUS - Ah, ok. Then I agree my explanation seems unlikely. | |
| Jun 22, 2017 at 12:32 | comment | added | TARKUS | @AndyT Your explanation seems unlikely, for the reason that I have asked a lot of questions, not all of them great questions, and maybe some of them pretty bad questions. But only one question was the target of multiple down votes within a restricted period. | |
| Jun 22, 2017 at 8:40 | comment | added | AndyT | @TARKUS - I think your situation is most likely explained as: you posted an unpopular question, which hence got a lot of attention. People then decided to look at your profile, out of interest, and clicked links through to your older question. They then, independently, decided that the old question was a poor question too. That isn't serial downvoting. | |
| Jun 19, 2016 at 20:18 | comment | added | TARKUS | I don't think the SO auto-recalc algorithm works for every possibility. I had a question sitting idle for one month (stackoverflow.com/questions/36750812/…) and after I posted an unpopular answer (received 40 downvotes in a matter of hours) I started getting multiple downvotes to single questions. For example, the linked question got 3 downvotes overnight. It was a question that had been sitting idle for a month, then, whammo. I reported it, but SO didn't have my back. They said they'd look into it, but nada. | |
| May 21, 2014 at 17:13 | comment | added | Braden Best | I've been looking this up because there's a guy who's been obsessively e-stalking me, and attacking/insulting me on various sites. He is a pest. and I just discovered he has an SO account. I'm thinking it's only a matter of time before he discovers I'm on this network and starts serial downvoting me. What can I do to prevent a potential attack from him? Is it possible to block people on SE? Can I put him on a "moderator watch list" or something? I don't want to publish this as a question, because I'm afraid he's going to see it in the feed and discover my presence. Not sure what to do. | |
