Drive-By's in Q&A
-
Possibly a Leslie-ian remark, but I answered a Q&A with another option (Q&A was oldish, but got bumped to list top and who reads dates?). Anyway - I got a down-vote - no big deal - but the answer wasn't horrible so I went to see what's going on. All answers in the Question [^] were down-voted. This applies to the three original (circa 2014) and the three new. So - assuming it is brought to their attention, can the mighty curators of CP see who does this and "make further inquiry"?

I usually do, it helps spotting spammers

In my case, no need. I don't hide. I have downvoted / reported two of them, Solution #4 which brought the item back to live and #6 because I find the answer brings nothing to the topic (and looking to the history of this user... one could think he is near to abuse/troll) Yours was more than clear that it was a "collateral" error of the question being brought back to top. I do agree that downvoting the original answers makes no sense though.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Same is happening to me. Someone is downvoting all Q&A without giving a thought. Looks like revenge or mad act.

If you've been here long enough, at least in The Lounge, the drive-by down voting for no rational reason is a contributing factor to why Lounge down-votes no longer take points from the poster. Not everyone is as high-minded as we are!
