Yep, that's very likely indeed.
I noticed. It was all because Ecency didn't publish my DBuzz posts correctly several times in a row, hence the downvotes, because it published them without any content in the body. ๐๐๐โจ๐ค

Some Hive Whales or Hive Orcas flag all the recent posts of a Hive account down to zero when they don't get any reply to their more or less 3 comments telling something wrong about some of such posts that were flagged, saying that it "has to be done to get attention" !INDEED. ๐คฏ

While I haven't reviewed all the comments or replies that someone might have gotten, I know of a few people who started getting their posts zeroed out with no communication as to the reason. ๐๐๐โจ๐ค

It looks like the flaggers want to imply to those flagged to "find out yourself why we flag you" !INDEED. ๐คฏ That's really bad. ๐งโโ๏ธ

Yes, I agree, it sure does appear that way, and you're right, it is really bad. It gives Hive such a bad reputation, which does not at all help with its need for lots of new users. ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
