    oh definitely... lol... but why go around downvoting someone because you couldn't win an argument? downvote what you don't agree with and move on...

    and here's one more just for good measure

        get used to it. We all get a lot of down votes from time to time. Your rep score will ALWAYS go up and down. Usually, we counter each others down votes with 5's if it is justified.

          Shouldn't there be a limit as to how many times one jerkoff can downvote you? I pissed off some ass and he downvoted me like crazy...

              There is already a daily limit on how many downvotes you can get in a day, but that is in total. ie 25 people (IIRC) can downvote you once each, or 1 person can downvote you 25 times, once that 25 DV limit is reached, no more points are counted. I think you mean that you can only get, say, 5 DV's per day from any individual?

                Consider yourself lucky - I've lost hundreds of points in a given day before the limits kicked in.

                    Doesnt matter, votes like that are a sign there is an asshole on the lose.

Lindzen, Atmospheric Physicist, IPCC "It does not matter who you are, or how smart you are, or what title you have, or how many of you here are, and certainly not how many papers your side has published, if your prediction is wrong then your hypothesis is wrong.

                        Well, I don't care about the rep points nor do I care if I piss someone off. I will speak the truth regardless of the consequences. You will find people who have high rep points who cry for losing few points here and there. Get over it and those univotes, however I and you might be disagreeing with their action, are exercising their basic right, To VOTE. Period. I can understand the way they use it might be unjustifiable, nonetheless, no one can have it both ways. I'll give you a hint on how to amass points, if you care about it. Just keep doing the right things, write and article, answer questions, get involved and forget about the points. Before you know it, your points will start piling up. Good Luck!

                              As long as the community views your rant as valid and they can relate to it. If they don't....watch your rep points drop like a bad habit. :laugh:

                                      don't really want to point them out... it'd be nice to have those limits though, specially for those of us who are just recently becoming active, he knocked down a level on the "debator" category

                                      You already have "pointed" them out. And usually a quick review of your recent messages will show the offending down votes, but that seems to be oddly missing in your case. :confused:

                                        It was in the forum messages, not the Q&A... My "debator" rating plummeted in a short span, right after going back and forth with a platinum member...so I assume it was him (can be a bad assumption)

                                          Are the download limits anywhere near the mexicocity limits?
