What if followers are Trolls who drive down your scores? How many times Vote Down?
If a person is acting as a Troll, and wishes to, how many times can they Vote Down your Hub? Do the Hub Administrators keep an eye on this? It seems with a few good Trolls, a Hubber can be ruined in ratings? Anyone...
Your ratings seem pretty solid. But I'm not sure, you really have to contact them because we don't know! And let me know the answer too, interesting question!
Voting down has very little effect on your hubscore so don't get paranoid about it. A person can vote down your hub as many times as they want but it will only count once and will only have a short 24 hour effect (the same happens for voting up).

i think trolls are easily identified by hubpages administrators , these latters have pretty good engineer that watch evrything and i really dont inagine a troll would escape their watch
