| Sep 10, 2012 at 9:04 | comment | added | Ward - Trying Codidact | Wow, that's an amazing analysis. It's almost as if you tried to figure out how to stalk someone and not be detected... :) | |
| Sep 9, 2012 at 19:01 | comment | added | Izkata | @MarkTrapp Nooo problem. If tab-completion isn't available, it's usually messed up in some way (most often with 'z' -> 's', which I suspect is done mostly by UK-ers) | |

| Sep 9, 2012 at 18:50 | comment | added | DVK-on-Ahch-To | @MarkTrapp - I would like to go over June and July data with the same methodology sine this is when questonable issues occured as per my OP. But so far your methodology looks pretty solid, and does seem to support that there is a plausible explanation for Izkata's data fror those 2 months. Then again, I didn't have any serial downvotes I found to complain about during them, so it is actually not an unexpected (but quite comforting) conclusion. As I said to Keen, I don't get upset about downvotes when I post crap. I care about downvotes if someone targets me personally. | |
| Sep 9, 2012 at 18:45 | comment | added | user366 | @DVK The first two paragraphs are to your immediate concerns. Your post (and Izkata's) used historical data (the voting activity on your profile over several months) to support the premise that there is a stalker: the bulk of my post is intended to refute that. If the activity over the past two days is indeed the work of a serial down-voter, there's very little (if any) evidence to suggest that it's connected to what's happened over the past few months, and you are better served by asking SE to look into it. | |
| Sep 9, 2012 at 18:38 | comment | added | DVK-on-Ahch-To | @GabeWillard - I had a misfortune of being adoped for a month by a cat that wasn't ours (and was not raised in a human home, to boot - it was a foundling by its permanent owner and not housebroken). The memories are LESS than fond :) The preferred method of staking was waking up everyone in the house all night, and doing its business under every piece of furniture | |
| Sep 9, 2012 at 18:36 | comment | added | Gabe Willard | @DVK Clearly you've never owned kittens. They always stalk you. :) | |
| Sep 9, 2012 at 18:34 | comment | added | user366 | @Izkata Oops: sorry about the name mix-up! | |
| Sep 9, 2012 at 18:34 | comment | added | DVK-on-Ahch-To | In other words, if you are right, your post may be an interesting rebuttal to Izkata's conclusion and data, but does not address the ones in original question. I fully agree that average voting patterns are curious but may have multiple causes (e.g. my posting more crap than before, to put your suggestion in less delicate terms) | |
| Sep 9, 2012 at 18:34 | comment | added | Izkata | +1 for the much more in-depth analysis, it looks like my queries at least managed to make others think about it more XP | |

Fixing my name ;)

| Sep 9, 2012 at 18:33 | comment | added | DVK-on-Ahch-To | OK, now i'm being stalked by kittens!!! Seriously, this is some heavy duty analysis - I will dig through it and see if I agree. But at first glance, you did NOT explain in any of your analysis two things: (1) the data series that ACTUALLY caused me to get paranoid (Sep 7 and 8); and (2) The fact that some of the other series were also very time-correllated. BTW, if you did explain it, sorry, I'll delete the comment upon careful re-read of the post. | |
