Jan 11, 2016 at 8:14 comment added 286110 @Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. my sincere apologies for incorrect tagging. It was intended for last commenter.
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:12 comment added M.A.R. OK @Firelord; I'm just discussing whether this is something we should worry about. It's irrelevant who edited; since to do 4 un-upvotes there are no other easy ways than looking at the user's profile and "hunting" them.
Jan 11, 2016 at 8:04 comment added 286110 There is no common editor in revisions of those answers. The user must had voted before the last revision took place on all those answers, so vote locking wouldn't have been an issue to recall an upvote. -- @Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ.
Jan 10, 2016 at 23:59 comment added ɥʇǝS What I want to know is how the user got around vote locking.. Did they edit all the posts they wanted to unupvote? That makes this even more interesting..
Jan 10, 2016 at 22:28 comment added yo' +1 For now, so that I can serial un-upvote you one day.

Jan 10, 2016 at 20:06 comment added M.A.R. Yes @gunbert, but I don't interpret it as "less damage". For instance, in the case above a -40 achieved by 4 serial un-upvotes could have been achieved by twenty downvotes, which would certainly have been caught by the script.
Jan 10, 2016 at 20:04 comment added guntbert Serial unupvoting can do less damage, because you only can unupvote if the post has been edited in the meantime - am I right?

Jan 10, 2016 at 13:36 comment added M.A.R. @SPA if the sock is removed, it's "user was removed"; if only the votes are invalidated, we see a "serial voting reversed".
Jan 10, 2016 at 13:32 comment added SPArcheon - on strike Wonder - suppose that user A uses account B to serial-upvote himself. When the voting is reversed, what is displayed on B account? There is a specific message or just a sequence of un-upvotes? you may be seeing that.
Jan 10, 2016 at 9:58 comment added nicael And also it possibly depends on how "serially enough" you're upvoted.
Jan 10, 2016 at 9:57 comment added Harry @nicael: Mine was in '14 :)
Jan 10, 2016 at 9:57 comment added nicael @Harry Mine has happened almost a year ago, Feb 28 '15.
Jan 10, 2016 at 9:55 comment added Harry @Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. Valid point, I am kind of assuming all avenues to be covered when it comes serial voting actions. But your question is very valid because it will atleast get an official response if not a correction.
Jan 10, 2016 at 9:54 comment added Harry @nicael: I once had something similar (serial upvoting of my answers), it was not reversed even at 5 and when I flagged it for attention, I remember being informed (not sure if by mods/users) that 5 doesn't trigger the script into action. Maybe its changed with time if yours was a recent case. Or maybe its a combo of time + no. of votes. So, something like 4 in 4 minutes triggers the script and not 5 in 10. Not sure.
Jan 10, 2016 at 9:52 comment added nicael But the screenshot is outdated too, were you preparing this question for a week? :D
Jan 10, 2016 at 9:51 comment added M.A.R. @Nica I noticed them today since I'm old and late.
Jan 10, 2016 at 9:51 comment added M.A.R. @Harry There is a script that handles the most cases of serial "upvoting"; I haven't heard anything about "un-upvoting".
Jan 10, 2016 at 9:51 comment added nicael @Harry I remember having 4 serial upvotes reversed, than why the threshold for other similar things should be higher than 4?
Jan 10, 2016 at 9:50 comment added Harry I think there is already a script that handles such things but the threshold is more than 4 for sure. The actual count is not revealed for obvious reasons but I would assume it to be definitely higher than 5.
Jan 10, 2016 at 9:45 comment added M.A.R. Please note that this isn't a case of account removal; in which case a "user was removed" notice would've been displayed. Still, I would be happy if we not restrict the discussion to this particular situation.
