I have no idea why or even if the user decided to do this. I just finished going through every question and viewed any deleted comments, there was only one instance where an accept rate was mentioned, and it was not antagonistic. So, obviously, the user was not overly pressured by people to accept answers that for whatever reason just didn't work for them.

It could simply be that upon realizing that the metric was no longer displayed, they elected to reverse the acceptance they had to keep the ratio up .. but on every answer? I'm also baffled. However, the user didn't do anything technically wrong:

1. No content was defaced
2. No votes were targeted (minus the loss of the acceptance bonus)
3. No other signs of the user being angry, at all

In other words, I sincerely doubt that rage was any kind of motive for this.

I agree on some rate limiting being put into place if this happens again and wasn't some extremely rare incident brought on by circumstances that are not likely to repeat. While coincidental, I'm not convinced that the removal of the accept rate display had much to do with this.

And yes, I agree, it's not a very nice thing to do. But, I'm still kind of baffled. I'll keep looking.
