Hey guys there is a new lurker on the board named Wickerman. I have a pretty good idea who he is. What is really funny is that he/she/it has marked me down 9 rep points in a day and a half. He/she/it has no posts. I never use the reputation scale but I just want you folks to know there is somebody out there with a grudge.

He may hate guys who went to a public college or he may hate Jesuit trained guys.

If it’s the guy I think it is I objected to an anti-Semitic post on TOS and did use TOS to down vote him over there.

If it is not him then it could be a jilted lover from 1971. Or maybe Andy Messersmith still pissed that I once got two hits off him.

LOL!

Thanks - in the future you can just message the mods and we'll flag it for review. And as Joan Jett once sang, "I don't give a d@mn 'bout my reputation!"

What a bizarrely petty thing to do.

This kind of thing happens all the time on Reddit. Oh no, not my fake Internet points!

At least there it's the same site. It's really strange to follow someone to a different site just to downvote them a bunch.

Also, I would have guessed that reputation voting was gated. Seems like it probably should be.

The community is small enough that I think most people who’ve been around a while can figure out your reputation without resorting to looking at the number next to your name.

Amazing how well that story holds up, 146 years later. I recently enjoyed it on audiobook with my kids, and they were just as riveted as they were by Harry Potter.

What is the impact of having a lot of negative votes? Does one get "voted off the island" at some point?

No consequences other than to one's sense of vanity and self-worth. Y'know, the same reasons that motivate all human behavior. ;)
