I feel that someone is going through questions that I post and are purposely giving 'thumbs down' to members comments that they post which are great answers that don't deserve 'thumbs down'.This has happened on more than one day, too. Do you find that there has been an un-justice going on to where people are doing this to members answers?
It's almost embarrassing and I wasn't sure if it's happened to anyone else?

i've noticed this too.....sometimes i'll have thumbs down on every single question i answer, even when i know it's right! i don't know if it's jealous people or what, but it is sorta frustrating.

I haven't been getting the thumbs down, but there's one idiot who answers my questions just to say how dumb they are, then throws an insult in. Nothing you can do but report it if you want, in my case, because I know who it is, but in your case I don't know what to do.
One of the other answerers to this question suggested limiting the number of thumbs down you can give to a question; that might work. Or just go to the 'star' system they have for questions.
Unfortunately, there's no way to keep the immature little kids out. If you find a way to fix this, let me know.

Yes it's a popularity contest and mostly people out for revenge. Like if they get a thumbs down they want to retaliate on others by giving them a thumbs down.

Here is an easy solution that YAHOO should do- they should limit each person to giving only two answers a thumbs down per question. That way we could still express our disapproval....but jerks couldn't go down the line and give them all thumbs down.

Yes it has been happening for a while. Since the thumbs up thing started... We have all seen it.

I wud like yahoo to ask for valid reasons for thumb downs and reports, that way they can monitor the ppl just trying to be mean

it does (at times) seem like one or two are just being a nuisance, kinda like in school when one bad apple could ruin an experience for everyone - the difference here is that these people here in Yahoo Answers are easier to ignore
