- Is this considered serial voting?
- Is this allowed?
- Does the serial-vote-reversal-script notice that since it is taking votes back instead of downvoting?
* A user edited the answers to retract the votes

13Definitely looks like serial voting and no, it is not allowed.– Oded StaffModCommented Oct 8, 2013 at 10:51

This certainly falls under serial voting.
The votes are un-upvotes, but they are voting behavior non the less. And they are targeted at specific users, not the content.
As such this goes against the rules - it is not allowed in any shape or form.
The reversal script doesn't handle this specific kind of case at the moment, but we may very well add it.

Until it is implemented, do we flag any post or add here on Meta?– HimanshuCommented Oct 8, 2013 at 11:10

@BoltClock'saUnicorn: definitely Oscillation. And 4-8 weeks too (4 in this case) :) Commented Oct 8, 2013 at 18:05

@AndreaLigios - With regards to the downvotes, the script didn't revert them. Probably because they were not serial downvotes. Commented Oct 14, 2013 at 8:35

Has this been added? Because I've been a victim of this on M&TV over the last three months.– cdeCommented Jul 4, 2017 at 17:43

@oded aside from the 4 over two minutes today/yesterday, there are many more spaced out. I'll grab a few screenshots in a minute.– cdeCommented Jul 4, 2017 at 19:21

14 here movies.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2854 2 here movies.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2812 and 3 here movies.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2811 and that's not including the un-upvotes that are by themselves, 1 one day, another the next, another two days after that.– cdeCommented Jul 4, 2017 at 19:26

1@ODED and two more serial un-upvotes just now. I'm guessing that adding checks for this type of abuse just never got added to the to-do list, in 4+ years of people requesting it?– cdeCommented Jul 9, 2017 at 18:45
