I think he is back under another account ... I don't get many posts down-voted but just had 19 various posts down-voted in 7 mins ... Here[^] is the post about it I just opened under this forum.

Just let him be, as long as he is only downvoting posts we can't really prove that it was him.
Send a report to Sean@codeproject.com, he will take care of the problem.

I woke up this morning on lower reputation point that yesterday and when I checked my reputation details I found a series of down votes to my answers. What to do in this case?

Do nothing. Reputation points are completely meaningless.

Ignore it.
It may be they are deserved (I don't know which posts got them so I can't say), it may be a number of people just didn't like them, or you may have annoyed someone and picked up a stalker.

The best thing to do it ignore it: if you react it shows a stalker that you care and that encourages them to continue, because they are getting a reaction from you. If they don't get any reaction, then the "fun" goes out of it and they get bored and move on. We all get them from time to time.
It's not as if you could convert rep points to cash, is it? Laugh | :laugh:

Strange, i remember something about converting them into beer(which is precious than cash) in the CP meetings. But again i may be wrong

Does happen from time to time.... you just have to learn to ignore it and try not to let it bother you.

I am getting the same because I pissed off someone who is just being un-rational.

I do think that there should be a limit of say 15 mins to how often you can down vote any given individual, because I got 19 down-votes in 7 mins!

I think there is a lot Code Project could do to improve its voting systems to prevent these kind of attacks.

I've asked him not to do that again, sent him to Google to get his file, and deleted the non-answers.

Uh-oh, since those answers contradicted my opinion (and apparently yours as-well), does your deleting said answers mean that we are that nasty word you taught me yesterday? Cry | :((
