Today it happend to me again.. I got 2 upvotes and then someone downvoted them, just for the sake of downvoting..Holm86 wrote:I just got downvoted in the "Wind tunnels - dumb question" Thread. I guess its because my post was already rated +1. Some people just like to downvote I guess.

The whole system is much more an exercise in sympathy than anything else. I opened a thread on the revolutionary carbon technology of the BMW i3. All I got for my effort was one down vote although I provided lots of data and links for people to find information about the issue "automotive technology". When you see this you get frustrated a bit when some intellectually challenged individuals get hundreds of up votes because they are popular.Holm86 wrote:I'm very annoyed that some people in here uses their downvotes to hate on people they don't agree with. WB gets a lot of downvotes. Just in the engine thread his post was hidden because of downvotes and I don't feel like there is anything wrong with his post. Its just like there are somebody just downvoting because they don't like him.
There's no systematic abuse of anyone. Besides anyone worried about their rank on an internet forum has much larger problems.Steven wrote:Increase the treshold to hide posts is one of the possibilities to mitigate this behaviour.
Will have to check though if there's systematic abuse against WB.
