In the case in question, I saw a comment in the chatterbox that indicated he was being punished for "whining" about XP
in the CB. It made me go and upvote some of his good nodes.
It's a shame to have lost him.
Update: Just to clarify, I don't believe there was any conspiracy, nor is there any mechanism for such. And if
you post an idea to Perl Monks Discussion, you have to be
prepared to receive downvotes even from those who respectfully disagree (update: I'm referring to his -57 for a self-described request for discussion). But I think (without actual evidence) that there was an attitude by
some of "let's teach him not to care so much about XP" that
was a source of some of the downvoting, and that I find disturbing.
Update: I see comments saying a friar should know how the system works better.
I'd like to point out that you can become a friar in a very short period of time. He had been a user for just 40 days.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
