If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.

Hey, not sure where else to put this:

I just logged back on after a brief absence from the site (a few days) to find I seem to have been genuinely karmassassinated. As far as I can tell, every comment I ever made has been downvoted, which was apparently enough to put me from 1200+ karma to -80 (although oddly, the "last 30 days" thingy claims I only got -148 karma; maybe it's maxed out?)

I understand it's possible to check who downvoted comments? It was probably a generically-named sockpupuppet, I guess, but still.

EDIT: great, I apparently need to wait 8 minutes because I already commented. Did not know low karma did that.

Wow. Do you have any idea what might have inspired this? Like were there any controversial posts you made before this happened?

Um, can any administrator types chime in on this? Apparently it must have been an established user, so it would be nice to find out who it is so they can at least get mocked for taking the Karma system so seriously (very passé). Also, y'know, all those features that prevent passing trolls from annoying people too much are also applying to me, so if it's possible to reverse this that would be nice too. EDIT: bump bump.

The "last 30 days" score gives you a score for posts/comments that you submitted in the last 30 days, not the downvotes/upvotes you received in that duration. So if people downvoted comments of yours from further back, it wouldn't be counted.
