I just posted a message with links to spammers in QA. Some of my links overlap the ones you have posted here. I am not trying to step on your toes, but there is so much stuff there right now.

Someone just went on a down voting spree on nearly all of my solutions.
Within a single minute(literally) they decided nearly every single one I've ever provided was bad, it seems more like revenge, than something constructive.
You may want to review that, and talk to whoever is responsible.
I've voted answers down, but, I also try to leave comments explaining my reasons, etc,.
So, even if they had legitimate issues, it's not very helpful if they don't explain them.

There could be many factors that lead people to mass down-vote someone like this, but you are likely correct that it has nothing to do with your solutions, but rather retribution for some other perceived wrong-doing by you. Some members may not even read your answers, but will down vote any answer you give to your own question without regard to whether you are providing a valid solution to a valid question. We actually have seen many rep-whores do that over the years. Personally, I like the fact that you pose clear questions and then provide your solution once you figure it out.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

Thanks, I appreciate the compliments.
My rating seems to have went up quite a bit, so it seems that at least some people liked my questions\answers.
Anyways, I appreciate the compliments, and thanks to all those who upvoted me.

Looking over your solutions I can see why... all of your solutions are to questions you posted which often looks like you're just trying to pad your own points. Not saying that's what you're doing, just saying that's what it looks like and that's probably why someone downvoted your solutions.

It's generally considered polite to share your answers when you solve your own questions. (That way the solutions can help others who might be facing similar issues.)
Anyways, am I supposed to be punished for answering my own questions when no one else did\could?
I solved the issue, and shared my solution, because I'm nice, if that's enough to get me voted down by someone, then, well, f*ck them, and that, I guess.
And, honestly, what the f*ck am I gonna do with some rating points?
I just didn't want some punk running around feeling like he somehow won by rating me down.
The alternative was me posting a call out thread, and getting to the bottom of things, or banned, whichever came first, I'm a bit, obsessive, and it's best to just not get me started...

I'm telling you the reason someone probably downvoted you, I don't know for sure... and quite frankly, you're getting way to wound-up about this whole thing. Is it really worth being this frustrated about something you really can't do anything about?
Cheer up and code.

But the account is still there.

You're right.
After I reported the spammer, there're 3 reports.
That's not enough.
Also, reporting an article doesn't report the member automatically.

In the future... let's make sure to zap the account first. It's hard to report someone as a spammer when you have no reference (i.e. the post went away first).

I just whacked him. The 7th report seemed to do it

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpfull answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Not sure if reporting user is needed. I have seen him oft and he usually behaves correctly. I would go for telling him about the "error" as a warning first and give him a second chance.
