Now, most of my recent comments have at least three downvotes, despite being on different posts and regardless of whether they’re controversial. If you scroll further, all the comments have at least two downvotes, then at least one downvote, and only my oldest comments don’t have this pattern. I’m sure this happened somewhere in the last two hours, because I didn’t see it when I checked it earlier. What happened? Did three people dislike me so much at the same time that they downvoted every comment on my profile that they could scroll to?

      Oh right, I forgot about that. The theme (or whatever its called) that I use doesn’t show the separate numbers, unless I put my mouse over the average number.

      But like I said, don’t worry about it too much. And I echo the other guy who said that you may have some weirdo following you and downvoting you, just wait it out. Maybe make a new account to get rid of them or whatever.

      If it were me, I wouldn’t care about such stuff.

        A week ago I removed the vote scores entirely, it is surprising how much it changes the entire experience. On one side I gradually stopped worrying about how my comments are doing, and for other I found myself paying more attention to what I read once I don’t know what other people think.
