SWG: Forums Gone Wild?

The 'Star Wars Galaxies' forums appear to be acting strange when it comes to negative comments on the state of the game. The thread about the State of the Game (Closing Out 2004) was filled with over five pages of mostly critical feedback on the "real" state of the game as opposed to the state of the game as portrayed by Executive Producer Rich "BoShek" Vogel.

As an active subscriber to SWG, I personally took the opportunity to drop a critical note about my personal impressions of what happened (or should have happened) to SWG in 2004 and my post was rated with the highest possible score of five stars three times over the weekend.

Then -after the weekend- the "Hand of God" appeared at the forums and my post suddenly has an overall rating of 1.1 with a total of only five votes.
Let's do the math... three five star ratings plus two one star ratings should result in an average score of 3.4... hmm... then how come my post has an overall score of 1.1 now?

How come that similarly critical posts have dropped from a very high rating to an extremely low rating as well?
How come that some posters of critical posts can't even find their own posts anymore because they have such a low rating now that the posts aren't even displayed anymore with the default forum settings?

A forum glitch? Or has a certain "Community Relations Manager" (ab)used his admin rights to lower the ratings on any and every non-positive post?

Surely just a forum glitch, right?
