Not just Coolguy, I noticed many users have their posts downvoted to oblivion, me included.

> I am thinking about leaving mainchan for a bit

Same honestly, I will stop posting any type of content even the monthly general threads (nobody even cares about them anyway) until I see real punishment for the trollers (bots?), or get an explanation for why this shit is happening. I will keep moderating the subs I made, though.

I also got hit by this, but if this dissuades the karma farmers that just post links random articles, making this place a boring news aggregator, then I welcome the troll.

What is this place?

Mainchan is a content aggregation, web content rating, and discussion website. Registered members submit content to the site such as links, text posts, images, videos, and polls, which are then voted up or down by other members. Submissions are organized by subject into user-created boards called "subchannels" or "subchans" for short. Users can also earn "karma" for their posts and comments, a status that reflects their standing within the community and their contributions to Mainchan.

Doesn't change the fact that those posts are boring, and there are better websites for that. If this site has any hope of competing with reddit it will need to become more than just another aggregator.

A considerate amount of my posts have now been reduced to 0 karma, and i noticed a dip in karma too. Its happening to a lot of people now.
