I understand that there is a limit on downvoting -- it doesn't cost karma, but it's only possible up to the limit of one's karma, or something like that. If so, a sockpuppet wouldn't have enough karma. It must have been an account with a real presence here, either bingeing on OCD or using an automated script.
Ah, excellent point. Now I'm even more curious about who the culprit might be.
... in other news, I apparently need "1164 more points" to downvote a comment.
Oooh, now you can calculate exactly how many downvotes you have given out.
I think it's much higher than that, like 4 times one's karma or even more so (which I find rather ludicrously high). Something like that would mean that a mere 300 karma (extremely easy to achieve by saying nothing actually worthwhile) would suffice to downvote another person 1200 times..
I seem to recall that it is (or was last I heard) limited to 4 times current karma.
The ideal outcome here may be if a PTB banned the offender, pumped Muga's karma back up then removed all traces of this conversation. This is somewhat too close to an instruction manual and primer for saboteurs.
