            Keep your head down and your mouth shut when this happens: bleating on about it will only bring more down voting and people do it because they can so man-up, shut up and move on.

                Is shouting "first" really contributing anything? Lots of message boards get overrun with this, OK its a minor annoyance, but if I ever did that here I'd strongly expect to get downvoted. Some individuals seem to regard this as some kind of competitive sport. Some other people get a kick out of posting the millionth message to a board. Not naming names ;-) (ps. I wasn't one of the downvoters - I don't go in for doing such things anonymously personally).

                  thanks 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!

                  -16 is the amount of rep points you lose if a platinum memeber downvotes you once.

                    I have posted stuff here that has been voted down more times than I care to think about. It is all part of the game. You are going to have to get thicker skin if this is really bothering you. The downvoting will die down and the water will be still in no time at all....Take a deep breath, in with the good - out with the bad. :) I think you realize now that when someone says "I voted first" it is not received very well here because it "comes off" as something a 12 year old would post...it's annoying. -- Just a thought. ;)

                      Slacker007[^] and viaducting[^] have also explained their reasoning. You're free to delete your post to stop the down votes...
