Ah, I see. Yes, I suppose I could see that. But yeah, the rest of it makes it unlikely. I doubt any would be upset enough to turn some kind of script on that goes through and puts my recent comments, on one Instance only, into the negative.

Interestingly, they seem to have turned it off. Or it could be because the initial comment that I vaguely suspect did start it, where I called out a troll a few hours ago, has now been deleted.

I've been checking back in really regularly though, to track what was happening. It was about 1 downvote/10-15 minutes or so, going until the comments were between -1 and -6 votes, and keeping them there as other people upvoted. It seems to cap out at a certain threshold though, and a select few of my posts were ignored, or less-affected.

It was very interesting. I'm actually a little miffed it stopped, as I was planning some more proper experiments to learn more about it.
