Unnecessary down votes [modified]
-
Someone is downvoting me 50-60 points everyday for the first message i posted in the poll... I am already 300+ points down because of that post :wtf: who so ever is doing that can you please come forward and explain what are your grudges against me. if i said 'i voted first' what's a big deal in that ?? :doh: -- Modified Wednesday, June 1, 2011 9:46 PM
Hi, I don't know what was in that message that seems to have caused a lot of negative reactions. Well, I am assuming something was there that vexed some people, and that you removed it later on, if it just had "..." from the start, then I'm perplexed. FYI: when it says "Score: 2.26 (26 votes)" that really means 26 different members have voted in such a way that the average score is 2.26, it is not one person voting you down repetitively. It could for instance be 20 people voting 1, and 6 people voting 5, or any other combination (keep in mind that the votes get weighted by the "rep color" of the voters, so it isn't a simple average). :) PS: I was able to up your score a little...

Perhaps it is something to do with the fact that all you said in your post is "...".

Once a member votes, they can vote again but it will not count.

yep.. i downvote when appropriate (like a wrong answer), but rarely on something like that post...
-
That's probably asking too much of an anonymous downvoter! (I didn't vote on your post) I take this back, lots of people explained their vote. (I still didn't vote on your post)

" I am already 300+ points down because of that post" If it will make you feel better think of it as -300 points up because of that post. In any case get a life and don't worry about some silly reputation on the internet.

thanks luc what i said was this exactly : "yipee i voted first :cool:" Thats it
That sure is harmless, but please keep in mind a number of people around here don't like text speak nor sloppy spelling. IMO not many would downvote for such reasons, unless it was a programming question showing a total lack of care to both content and style. I glanced at your recent message list and saw nothing extraordinary as far as scores go, except for the one here that is. I guess poll messages are visited by a huge number of people, much more so than anything else in the forums. So I can only suggest you move on; AFAICT it will be completely forgotten in a few days, activity here slows down as the week progresses, and there will be another poll next Monday. :beer:

CP Vanity has been updated to V2.3thanks luc actually every time someone upvote me (like you did just now), The exact no. of -16 votes pops up in my reputation points to balance that upvote. If a person cannot vote multiple times, i really wonder how come exact no of different people come and downvote me every time. Anyways moving on as you said... ;) cheers!

As I said votes are weighted, so in a programming forum, when I upvote an answer, it gets 40 points as an answer upvote is worth 5 points, but with platinum Authority my weight would be 8 (4 for gold, 2 for silver, 1 for white/bronze). In the rep history page, it would show up as "Programming Forum Message Upvoted", 40, Authority. In the score, it would raise the floating-point number, and it would increment the vote count shown by 1 (not by the weight!). I don't know the exact details for messages in the poll; would be not 5 but somewhat less, maybe 2. And might be Debator color, or Participant color, I just don't know, not all the details are documented in the FAQ. If you suspect there is a bug in the rep system, you might take a screen shot of your rep history page, and e-mail that to Chris, he can be reached at chris(at)codeproject(dot)com. Make sure you add a reference to this thread, as well as to your message that started all this. :)
