Ask HN: Somebody is manipulating the downvotes

  • I've never downvoted you, but I've taken note of you as a vitriolic poster, particularly after you had inflammatory comments deleted from a recent Soylent thread.

    No downvoting should be automated, but it's possible you're being downvoted due to the content of your posts. gus_massa's hypothesis sounds reasonable.

  • What did the mods say when you emailed to ask them?

  • When did the downvotes start to happen?
