Is it possible for a user to write a script to monitor my activity and down vote everything I post automatically? because I am noticing that lately. My past 10 or more posts have all received downvotes instantly. As soon as I press the button to Submit post, there is a downvote. I have no idea who is doing that. But for example, yesterday I made a post around 1 am, and very quickly almost instantly it received a down vote. The post was quite long, so there is no way the person could have read it and thought about it and form an opinion so quickly. I don't understand how this is possible that someone is getting a downvote automatically. Does PerlMonks allow members to set up an automatic thing? LOL I think, if I tried to give out down votes to everybody, I would very quickly run out of votes. Secondly, how would I do that without being logged in? If someone is currently logged in, then their username should show up on the home page right column. Right? So, I couldn't hide my activity. Thirdly, if I wanted to write an automatic down voting script, it would have to download a page from PerlMonks every second to check the new posts by that user. And that would be extra bandwidth...eventually downloading the same page a billion times would raise the awareness of the admins (maybe?), and I think that user would be placed in a timeout. So, how can someone pull this off? I don't understand it.
