Hello. I've found that rather suddenly, all of my comments within the past week have exactly 3 downvotes. These are even on totally unassuming comments, like a comment I posted saying that French is used in a lot of African countries.

I believe it might be possible that I am suddenly being harassed be a user with multiple accounts or something.

Looking for some guidance.

Thanks all.

On one hand, I completely and totally hear you. The thing that people don't think about is that they do color someone's initial impression of a comment. So you're significantly more likely to get more negative engagement from others that way. It's why some places/sites sometimes obscure the initial votes for a set number of time.
