I'm bumping this old thread because at least the title was related.  I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned by others.  Not only Lad, but also about half a dozen other posters.  Not that I tried to download everyone myself, but you can tell some posters' negative reputation score never changes (for at least over a week now), and also on recent threads, only certain people are getting downthumbs, while others never do, which, though not definitive, seems unlikely. 

Has anyone else noticed that it is impossible to down-vote certain posters lately?  Is this a deliberate feature of the system, or a temporary glitch? 
Matthew did make a change recently.  I'll try to find the thread and bump it.

Thanks, 2V.  I did find this after I bumped this thread:

I can't say I totally understand the new algorithm, but since some posters' downvote counts haven't changed in weeks, it seems that nobody meets the criteria for them, or at least nobody who wants to downthumb them.  And there are about 8 posters I've noticed this with.
