The link goes to a possible bug that @111MrGuy111 and I noticed.

As for my part I'm not really sure, but I thought that my score had gotten to 22 a week or so ago and then back down to 21, and the circular progress bar shrank a bit more. I recall going back into my comments for 5 or 6 pages worth to look for some comment that was downvoted a bajillion times (didn't find any). Then I thought I had been imagining things and put it out of my mind.

Today 111MrGuy111 said something similar happened which makes me think that maybe I didn't remember it incorrectly? To be fair, I don't pay a lot of attention to the score, so might very well have misremembered it.

@AOU @PMYB2

Can you confirm this?

There are plenty of shills using vote gaming alts thinking they will go unnoticed. So when they get caught by the algorithm, all the votes are cancelled. The thing is you can't downvote more than you upvote. So they will go and randomly upvote things so they can cast the equivalent downvotes to target users.

When their votes get cancelled, users who got artificially upvoted will also lose the related points.

Thank you AOU and @d0c5 . I thought I had lost my mind.

I don't have any alts, but I've got plenty of IP addresses.
