...which begs the question, were the downvoters removed from the network? I know they're always having to break up illegal voting rings.

So, this is a good thing that SO takes care about unfair downvotes, right? Or am I missing you?

It's a good, but it's not enough. The only time they care about downvotes is when there is a provably organized effort by a group of people to attack (or support) targeted individuals through voting. The daily, individual abuses of the system have always been altogether ignored.

BTW, this is just the aurora of DEV community... Meaning the upvotes came from here since I posted the links here.
