I'm sorry for what I posted earlier to you but after the down-voting got out of control, it made me have my suspicions about what was going on and started to draw my own conclusions.

Just so you're aware, no body else can see the individual downvotes of your messages, except you. So we're really not aware of it and generally don't know what you're complaining about.

They could be targeting you next and you'd never even know it.
They hacked me on the wiki and they're hacking me here as well.

I think your use of the word "hack" here isn't accurate. Anyone can edit any page on a wiki (generally). That's the entire point and does not constitute a "hack".

So are you saying that anyone can edit anyone's bio whenever they feel like it without their permission.
That's what they did to me. They put a naked
man with his nipples showing sitting at a computer screen. Was that a real reason to edit my bio? No it wasn't. It was immature of them.

Technically, yes.
Perhaps. But it wasn't a "hack". If fact "they" didn't even attempt to hide their identity. I think "prank" is a better description of what was done to that wiki page.

My James Bond update thread got 15012 down-votes alone. That's a little extreme I think.

Hi DM - After TM posted this, I wanted to check, and I saw that my BBS currently has no messages in the Dove-Net Entertainment sub-board. I'm not sure how that happened, and I'm not sure what logs I can check to see what happened there.

It's quite common for men to walk topless on a beach, at a pool, etc.. Do you feel offended seeing men's nipples?

I'll send you an email then and you can see for yourself.
Maybe there's a hacker among your users pulling stunts like this. Only my messages were sabotaged as you noticed in the previous email sent to you,

It was still out of line irregardless. If I pulled something like that, I'd be in **** for it. But I'm not stupid.

Votes are messages. Until yesterday-ish, they counted toward the
total number of messages in an area. If you only retain 10K
messages in Synchronet Discussion, the deluge of downvotes
would've pushed some "actual" messages out. With a new build, the
vote messages won't count toward that retention limit (as I
understand it).

Do you know "irregardless" isn't a word? What you mean is "regardless". "Irregardless" would mean "without lack of regard".

You may phrase it that way, but you're wrong. A more correct term (re: the editing of your wiki page) would be vandalism.
