Has anyone had a feeling that somebody is stalking your profile to downvote you?

Happens to me every few months. Out of nowhere it's like literally every comment I make regardless of where I make it or how benign it is is being downvoted by exactly one or two people. It's impossible to tell who it is, but I won't lie sometimes I'm almost certain it's gotta be "whomever I most recently got into an argument/debate with on this site." Seeing how unhinged some people can be though I admit I do sometimes worry that a person I argue with might take shit too far one day (basically anyone whose mind is as unhinged as someone like that VenusianRapper guy that Vorobey recently did an expose on).
I thought so for a while but I think I was wrong
Not in the comments but in the forums lol. I know it's a stalker or bot because they'll downvote the most innocuous, unnoteworthy posts I make. Like, if someone aka a question on the forums and my post is literally just "I think so, yeah." He's there within the hour, almost without fail. Could be a bot, could be a stalker from the discord, but in either case, it's just a nothingburger.

though moments like this put me in doubt so someone is probably salty
Because they likely are
or have a bot for it
You get kind of used to people hating you after a while either way anyway, its not that big of a deal
I know some users were downvoting all my wall comments 10 years ago for some reason. Keep in mind, these were comments from other users.
Happens to pretty much every active comment/forum user at some point or another. I wouldn't pay too much attention to it, karma scores on this site do not matter in any way whatsoever.
Checked my profile and no; but, interestingly enough, I've noticed that I got downvoted on each post where I referred to my dislike of Elden Ring
You're not a real memer until you've had your first downvote party.
It's like a Rite of Passage. . . of sorts. It's best to take it in stride.
I don't, but I do know a few users that constantly have stalkers downvoting on every comment/post, even something minor like "yeah" or "hello".
I'm not sure, but maybe I did? I'm opinionated.
It's not a good idea to get too obsessed with votes, but it's interesting to see how certain users can almost reliably have a certain "score". Hover over their total score and they'll have the same amount of downvotes & upvotes for multiple comments.
In small forums people tend to have a set amount of supporters & detractors.
I honestly tend to be less interested in some internet points I get on a post I make and much more in the discussion it generates. Sometimes I put a lot of thought into the things I do or say and I don't get a single response, and the amount of upvotes I get doesn't really satisfy me regardless of how high it is. I want to see people explain WHY they agree with whatever it is I said, but it feels like no one ever does. It kinda annoys me when posts that I personally don't think have anything new to say are more likely to get treated like it does.
this is just a vent post, im not trying to make a point here so dont take this as anything
Everyone in this thread who didn't get downvoted is getting sent to the mod gulags tbh
I kind of miss my stalker who would respond to my KYM Forum posts on Reddit.
My previous post now has 4 up and 3 down. Either some of ya'll are being silly little shits or the sudden increase small in followers I got recently actually meant something (it's been a stagnant 393 for months but I suddenly gained 2 out of nowhere, which is surprising to me as hell I don't even follow anyone myself as I don't want to come off looking like I'm singling out "favorite people" on this site).

Oh he was a gem. He would constantly calling me a lying Jew, and refuting my positions in Politics thread about China/Russian relations. Constantly send me videos from goyimtv. I miss it.
I'll never understand why most KZN002 images, specially those about Jan 6 have at least one downvote. And its almost instantly. A new pic is added to the Jan 6 gallery deep at night. Boom. Downvoted.
I've been stalking one person to upvote them

Happens on rare occasion and when it happens i generally have a good idea of who they might be.

That's a regular occurrence. People still upvote or downvote stuff I posted 11 years ago.
OP is talking about stuff like this
I get downvoted in comments on my own wall
Ergonomic Chair
Banned
I probably do, I don't really care.
