Dec 1, 2017 at 5:55 comment added Martin Sleziak Maybe a recent discussion on meta might be of interest to you in relation to this: Someone is doing “targeted serial downvoting” against me? (Just a guess, but I thought it might be useful to let you know about that discussion.)

Aug 30, 2017 at 0:21 comment added Martin Sleziak @AlexM This time I took some screenshots - see here and here. As you can see, reputation reversal was shown there one day and was no longer displayed a day later. The most likely explanation is that reputation changes related to deleted votes are not shown to other users. (So they wer no longer shown after the deletion.) Still the user in question should see them if they chose "show removed post" option.

Aug 28, 2017 at 12:01 comment added shalin @SimplyBeautifulArt How does one go about seeing deleted answers? Is that some kind of privelege for having a billion rep or something, or am I just not looking closely enough?

Aug 27, 2017 at 0:40 comment added user9464 @amWhy: Thanks for the comment. This question was asked two days ago and I can only see comments so far. I am wondering if I should inform the moderators about this particular case. The only concern for me is that if I'm voting to delete correct answers. I found after I posted this question that the ridiculous exponential nonsense was also from this same user. Considering also Alex's comment, I seriously doubt whether this user has the real correct knowledge on nonstandard analysis.

Aug 26, 2017 at 15:55 comment added Martin Sleziak @AlexM. I no longer see it there. I'm pretty sure I saw it when I posted my comment - maybe I should have made a screenshot. (Maybe all the post related to those reputation changes were deleted and that's why we no longer see the reputation changes.) But I guess it is not very difficult to find some other user profiles with voting reversals. Since this seems only tangential to the issue at hand, we can continue this discussion in chat, if needed.
Aug 26, 2017 at 15:49 comment added Alex M. @MartinSleziak: Do you have any special MSE privileges that allow you to view things that I cannot see? I'm looking at this user's reputation and I see no voting correction.
Aug 26, 2017 at 15:45 comment added Alex M. Let me add something to the discussion: I had a brief virtual encounter with that user last year, when I detected him using 3 separate accounts; of them, one was for posting, and another one for upvoting his own posts. When confonted with this fact, he quickly deleted 2 out of those 3 accounts. Regarding his posts - some of them are ok, but there is a lot of non-standard analysis in answers to simple high-school questions where the OP is obviously looking for "standard" analysis. I myself have downvoted and voted to delete many of this user's posts.

Aug 25, 2017 at 8:51 comment added Martin Sleziak @Jack The second answer from the second list has no downvotes at the moment. Perhaps you can check the other answers, but I guess that your votes have been reversed by the automated script which removes serial votes. (Also on the user's profile I see today +8 reversal - Voting corrected. Of course, I cannot see whether the reversed votes were yours - voting is anonymous.)

Aug 25, 2017 at 6:53 comment added user21820 @achillehui: That's okay. I'm just stating it in case people get the wrong impression. I look sufficiently at every single answer that I delete. =)
Aug 25, 2017 at 6:46 comment added achille hui @user21820 I didn't bother to look at all the answers.
Aug 25, 2017 at 6:44 comment added user21820 @achillehui: No they do not. In a lot of those cases the user claims that L'Hopital's rule is false, just because his weird manipulations arrive at a contradiction. Also, he is willy-nilly using the idea of nilsquare elements all over.
Aug 25, 2017 at 3:38 comment added achille hui From the viewpoint of non-standard analysis, some of the added answers (the one you just added) do make sense. It is a little bit handwaving but the spirit is mostly correct.

Aug 24, 2017 at 22:10 comment added amWhy It depends on how one defines "targeting" a user. Focusing in on one user to the exclusion of other moderating actions, may not fare well upon the crunching of numbers, by the daily scripts detecting "serial voting". I am not suggesting you were serially downvoting or deleting for any reason other than enhancement of site quality. You made a lot of good calls; but maybe review such a user's posts less rapidly; as is, many of the posts in question are from a year ago. Bottom line: Your honesty here is applaud-able. And it's a good question, in general!!

Aug 24, 2017 at 21:42 comment added Simply Beautiful Art Yeah, this user is definitely misinterpreting Taylor's theorem. I don't believe the deletion was bad, despite them all coming from the same user.
Aug 24, 2017 at 21:40 comment added user9464 @SimplyBeautifulArt: Fixed now. Thanks.
Aug 24, 2017 at 21:40 comment added Simply Beautiful Art The second deleted answer is outright nonsense, in general, there should be another correction term.

Aug 24, 2017 at 21:38 comment added Simply Beautiful Art Series are related, but I think you meant "serial", as in many votes to one user.
