richlind33: Dewd, I saw posts turn low-rated 3-4 minutes after they logged on. And I'm not talking about flame posts. First tiny, then Breja. And other people who don't flame at all are getting low-rated.
First of all, with how bugged the forum is, it's nearly impossible to actually tell when someone's online or not. I've seen people who are "offline" be browsing the forum and people who are "online" be sleeping.
Second of all, if you scroll back some pages, you'll note that a good deal of posts of theirs have been "low rated" as well when completely innocuous. If they were truly had alts, do you really think they'd fail to high rate their own posts to make themselves look good or otherwise pump up their rep (let's not forget that tinyE used to be in the 1000+ range)?
There's all other sorts of issues with that logic, but trust me. These guys aren't bothering with rep. The most they can do is give a single posts of yours two downvotes, one from each of them.
If anything, I suspect that some people (not necessarily tinyE and Breja) have become fed up with you and decided to ignore/downvote any post of yours whether innocent or not thanks to your history of flaming (similar fates have befallen Tauto, Kleetus, and rctvb32 himself here).
