I did not know this was a thing, but I do not think this is a worthwhile fix. If a user experiences a sudden drop in karma, and a lot of -1 posts, they should be able to report the user, and a mod should be able to check and punish them and fix the problem. We do not want a fix which shows up as an inconvenience often for a problem which is only rarely a problem.

I've never seen a mod capable of checking who downvoted what reacting in any way when this has come up.

I would guess that a mod being capable of checking that would be an easier or at least not much harder fix than a time limit on voting down.
