Missing thumbs down responses?

I answered a question a few days ago and I went back to see who got picked as best answer, but it had a different user name and all of the thumbs down were gone. I had gotten several thumbs down and now it shows there is none. It was a controversial question and so alot of people had thumbs down but theirs are missing too? What happened?

    For SOME reason, the 'thumbs down' disappear after a question is REMOVED as violation, but then reinstated after the poster appeals. So, the question likely was reported and removed, but then the question's poster appealed the decision and won, reinstating the question. Only the thumbs-UP remain, but, for SOME reason, the thumbs-DOWN disappear completely.

    If I don’t trust somebody I provide them thumbs down. although regular in the event that they're speaking approximately their own reports then I provide them thumbs up. If i think the guy has grant sturdy tips for the poster who asked the question after all that’s truly what YA is all approximately. i visit additionally provide thumbs down if their answer is unquestionably off base. Take as an occasion the poster who asked approximately people who had located their toddler for adoption, there have been some who published that they would not in any respect place their toddler for adoption, ok however the question became specific ��Who has located their toddler for adoption became it open or closed?” not “might you ever place a toddler for adoption?” there are cases i think thumps up or down isn't mandatory as a effect I purely don’t vote. as quickly as a poster asked a question approximately tips about adoption from China, I published some hyperlinks to China adoption tips, bypass determine I have been given thumbs downed.
