Because I did like 5 posts in the past 2 days I went back and looked at all of my point totals for them and the biggest I found was -5 (which whatever) but my total went from +160 to +97...
I'm sorry but this is really starting to get to me the blatant manipulation of peoples points and I know that I'm not the only one.
Kinda OT
I'm not talking about getting down-voted for 1 stupid post
I'm talking about blatant manipulation of the system.
I haven't posted shit lately therefore my point total shouldn't go down 100.
Maybe it's just me or maybe I have flawed logic or something or maybe I'm just an idiot.

I lost a point for responding to a post by saying "Why?". I thought that was pretty funny. Apparently someone didn't appreciate the philosophical nature of the question.

I'm just saying that to me it looks like someone has been going
through every single one of my posts and down-voting me. Which is stupid childish and frankly I think that Brian should moderate how many down-votes that someone can give someone in any given day or something.
I understand if someone says something stupid and people down-vote that one comment but people shouldn't be able to just say "Well I didn't like his opinion on this one post so I'm going to screw him over for everything that he writes let's go through and down-vote every one of his posts". This kind of thing should be frowned upon and discouraged because I don't think that this is what Brian wanted in the system.
***EDIT*** And I'm probably going to get killed for writing this post but I feel that it's a serious question with the point system.

mgopoints are like
a box of chocolates. Well, not really. Actually, not at all. But, if you are dissappointed in your mgopoint totals, and it is negatively impacting your ego and behavior you should probably just go ahead and kill yourself. Hopefully, you haven't reproduced yet.

not sure how you received 26 Mgopoints for posting a link about a year old story.
and I think M go points is one of the problems with the site.......people post worthless crap just to accumulate points........and then neg people who dont agree with them.

On topic, I haven't seen enough abuse of the system to be concerned, but there are occasionally down votes that completely mystify me. I'm afraid these are vendetta votes, as the OP suggests. That's not cool.

On topic though I agree at times that some down votes make very little sense.....but what makes even worse sense is bitching about it.
Uh oh bouje, don't look now but you said you had like 100 points......you are in the neg now dude. Guess this wasn't such a good idea huh? Here's a +1 for you just so you don't actually kill yourself.

So far...
I've actually been personally pretty pleased with the system. For the most part, I haven't seen many posts where people were getting killed (and by that I mean more than a -2 or -3) without good cause. One comment I made, I screwed up and posted bad facts and I took the hit for it. The system seems to be keeping most people honest. Then again that's just my epinion.
(EDIT: Just before I posted this bouje was at 105... in the time it took me to write it, he's now at 76. Ouch)

I usually find that when I get "pegged" for no reason, someone will usually give me a plus that evens me back out to zero.
Minor point of clarification
On your comment, you will even back out to zero. On your actual point total, you will come out +1 ahead. Positive votes count for 2 MGoPoints, but only show up as 1 point on the comment. I believe they are working to fix this.
