Trolling in the MNK ForumFollow

There appears to be a person trolling me in the FFXI:Monk forum and rating down practically every single post I make in there. I believe it may be an act of sock puppetry.

By no means am I a saint, but it is one thing for me to get rated down because I flame someone. Another to be rated down on every post even if I am helping people.

Thanks for your time.

BTW, Mysteriously my rating went from 3.48 to 3.43 within a span of 12-14 hours.

Yeah, and as you can see my first two posts were rated down already, so most likely whoever did that is the culprit.

I would like to report that this has been happening to me as well.

I have been rated down for posts that have been both helpful and attempts at seeking clarification in polite ways.

This troll has been after other monks in our forum, not just Slyde and myself as I see poor ratings on excellent posts.

Not necessarily; you'll get rated down here in this forum for complaing about your karma, just by the regulars who come along, and even the admins.


However, I'd still kind of like to know who's been wasting so much time trying to single all our posts out to rate them down.
I've observed the threads; it hasnt been blanket rate-downs over the whole threads, only specific people are being targetted, regardless of their posts.


Events like this make rate-up orgies like that 15-page one the other day all the more worriesome, as Lenonis pointed out on (I believe) the very first page.


Regardless, I just wish whoever it is were willing to try and engage me in a conversation/discussion/debate about whatever it is that have chosen to take issue with, rather than just trolling me with rate-downs out of blind spite.

    Here is one thread where all I did was help people and share insight and the troll deliberately rated down every single one of my posts.

    Yea, it'd take a week for any topic to usually drop off the first page of this board. Unnecessary bumping will only **** off the people you're trying to get to help you.
