After I made this fun little comment I started to get instantly downvoted on every comment that I make. I think that someone has created a downvote bot that targets certain people. Whenever I post a comment, it shows: "0 points" instantly. Like, the second I hit the button: instant downvote. It happens too fast for it to be a human. A human wouldn't even have time to read my reply, let alone downvote it.
So, I ask: is anyone else having their comments instantly downvoted?
EDIT: This appears to be the result of a change made by admin in user voting behavior. Everyone's comments start at 0 points now instead of 1. There's a post over in /v/announcements somewhere which explains it...

Watch. Here's a demo.

Not a bot, because of the bots Atko announced in /v/announcements that you can't vote on your own stuff anymore, meaning it's +0 -0 and not +1 -0 by default. If you try to upvote yourself it goes away when you refresh and doesn't count.
Edit: Should mention he said those changes are temporary so ya

I don't upvote myself. So, this is normal that everyone starts at "0 points" now? It's not just me?

Before this and on Reddit you automatically upvote yourself. Yeah, everyone is starting at 0 points for now and not 1

I'm cool with that. I just didn't understand what was going on. Suddenly, all my comments were "0 points" and I was like WTF?!
