Thanks for the trust. I can imagine doing unplesant decisions based on data. I am not sure how to get those data; but I guess I would speak with developers and ask them to make me some database reports. Or Kaj would explain me what he did.

I accept the nomination. I am okay with doing this either alone or with someone else -- would slightly prefer to have a second opinion, but could act without it, too.

I've exchanged e-mails with jackk and asked him to pull out voting data for me. In other words, spoken with developers and asked them to make some database reports. :-)

Here is a link to the start of an exchange I had with Kaj_Sotala:

My request is pretty simple: I am pretty clearly the victim of a mass downvoting; I would like to have the downvoting reversed. For reasons which are not entirely clear, Kaj_Sotala wouldn't do it. Thank you for your assistance.

Thank you for the report. I have already received two reports (via private message), so you are the third.
