Jun 11, 2012 at 2:02 comment added tchrist Mod @YoichiOishi I am not completely certain. I believe meta gets synchronized with main periodically, but not instantaneously. I believe badges are separate, though.
Jun 11, 2012 at 1:51 comment added Yoichi Oishi @tchrist. BWT, where do 8 votes I find both on my question and waiwai’s answer go, to meta page on its own, added to my or his rep in EL&U site, or nowhere?
Jun 10, 2012 at 21:51 comment added Yoichi Oishi I came to interpret the loss of rep is just like receiving a counterfeit from someone, which I cannot use. In case of counterfeit, the forger has a merit – real money as long as he manages to sell it off safely. But what do sockpuppets gain by making multiple votes? What is their ‘material’ merit and real intent of making multiple voting on others? Just for fun? As a late septuagenarian falling behind cyber age, I don’t understand it at all.
Jun 10, 2012 at 19:20 comment added Tim Lymington @rudra; If all somebody's downvotes are so undeserving they should be removed, the upvotes must logically be equally tainted. (I lost 130 to this).
Jun 10, 2012 at 15:42 comment added tchrist Mod @rudra Sockpockets are usually guilty of bogus upvotes as well as of downvotes. They are really evil, because they are attempting to subvert the democratic and anonymous nature of the voting system that underpins the entire site with their “vote early, vote often” approach. You cannot know that they are valid upvotes; perhaps they are just mirroring their “real” account. See the problem?
Jun 10, 2012 at 15:37 comment added FumbleFingers I'm heartened to see @tchrist lost more than me. Not in a "rivalry" sense - it's just that the 64 points I lost seemed quite high. It made me think there might be something undesirable about my answers that was making them attract upvotes from someone not voting in good faith. Now I know it can happen to the best of us, I'm not really bothered about my loss. By implication there must be other users who genuinely deserve the gains they'll make from malicious downvotes being cancelled.
Jun 10, 2012 at 14:47 comment added user20934 But still, isn't it unfair to deduct the points (the upvote points) when a user is removed? How about just undoing his (the deleted user's) downvotes?

Jun 10, 2012 at 12:37 comment added tchrist Mod No, I wasn’t shocked and angry. I was a little disappointed, but so is anybody whose points disappear. There isn’t really anything to be done, and I understand what happened.
Jun 10, 2012 at 11:46 comment added Yoichi Oishi Were you quite calm and nonchalant when you got 118 reputation points loss thanks to other user's behavior? I was shocked and got angry for being pulled down for the reason I’m not responsible for.

Jun 10, 2012 at 4:42 comment added tchrist Mod You think 40 is bad, I myself lost 118 when the sockpuppet was removed.
