It doesn’t take much—just one jerk systematically downvoting a page or two of your existing comments. I lost like 37 points in less than an hour that way a few days ago. We really need separate up/down counts, or better yet ups and downs per voter, so you can ignore systematic friend upvotes and foe downvotes.
Couldn’t it also be due to a change in the karma calculation rules in order to, say, not take your own upvote in account on karma calculations? I remember that was mentioned, but don’t know if it was implemented in the meantime.
Edit: Well, it seems that it isn’t implemented yet, since posting this got me a karma point :)

Are we already getting this behavior? I’ll have to start looking into voting patterns… Sigh.
Have you looked at Raph Levien’s work on attack resistant trust metrics?
