Downvoting limits?
-
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...
Well that's the mentality of folk from around the world, I'm afraid is part of life. Take it on the chin and forget about it.

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?

i guess the moral of the story is... don't piss off an mvp member around midnight cause they'll get you for 50...lol :laugh:

good to hear! a single person knocked me about 40 points in the span of about ten minutes...
Consider yourself lucky - I've lost hundreds of points in a given day before the limits kicked in.

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

guess you're right about that... my 5! lol
You just got your 40 points back plus some more. See how it works now. :)

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:

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...
Where did this occur? I didn't see any downvotes in your message history or answer history, so I'm confused as to where you received your platinum downvote.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

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?

I am willing to learn either from you or anyone else, but the best solution I found so far is, just ignore them and don't mention it. You will see it go away in a day or two. The more you mention it the more attention you will grab. I can list you many instance that happen both to me and others as well. There are days I get up and find myself looking well over 100 points. Mind you this are for very old posts. Tell me how can I justify this. I just suck it and move on. The next day you make 200 points, Yeeeees!

I'm going out on a limb with this guess, but see this post[^]. I expect this has more to do with your debator points changing than a forum message downvote that can not be linked to. :)

i do believe i've received more points the past day on a rant than on legitimate answers! ...i am here to help though, i try not to be rude as well, so hopefully karma will be on my side... as you can see from my profile, i've only asked one question and none of my answers include "look it up" (although i have added that as comments to students trying to get ppl to do their homework)
