It doesn't take much - just one jerk systematically downvoting a page or two of your existing comments. I lost like 37 points in less than an hour that way a few days ago. We really need separate up/down counts, or better yet ups and downs per voter, so you can ignore systematic friend upvotes and foe downvotes.

Are we already getting this behavior? I'll have to start looking into voting patterns... Sigh.

Have you looked at Raph Levien's work on attack resistant trust metrics?

Couldn't it also be due to a change in the karma calculation rules in order to, say, not take your own upvote in account on karma calculations? I remember that was mentioned, but don't know if it was implemented in the meantime.

Edit: Well, it seems that it isn't implemented yet, since posting this got me a karma point :)
