Same question here. It appears that when your content is flagged as plagiarized, all your comments will be downvoted. I don't see the logic there.

Just to get this on chain, I believe this is the kind of redemptive content that we should guide these people toward. You can see that his initial comment was worthless but then I teased out some value (for my own post).

But in my post, his comment is just fine, and I don't know his history on the chain, and that's why I upvoted him. Not only the "plagiarizer" is penalized, but also the clueless.
