I see that this article is deleted now. Too bad, as I really enjoyed it!
The same happened to me. I received 1 cent I didn't even request from a bot that voted for my last article, then a madman took it away from me by downvoting the article without giving me written feedback.
I started powering down my account, and I think about never powering it up again. What's the point in curating if random people can take author rewards away?
