I thought I'd reply to this comment I made earlier to let people who read it know the details, about why the Downvote came in.
I had some HP delegated to Whaletrail, and by doing this was involved in vote buying. (It was ignorance on my part that caused the issue.)
I've undelegated the HP and the issue has been resolved. The people in the appeals channel were helpful and I'm relieved it's sorted out.
