The downvote thread got me thinking, can we get a list of the top 5 upvoted and top 5 downvoted posts of all time? I would love to use this data to hone in my skills as a valued poster of this sweet and homely community.

No.

There have been several posts through the years that got a rediculous number of down votes!

SELECT TOP 5 Poster, COUNT(*) as CNT
FROM VoteTable
WHERE VoteType = 'UP'
GROUP BY Poster
ORDER BY 2 DESC

I don't know what any of that means, but Hammertime's "Check His Knuckles First" thread had over 1,200 downvotes. It occasionally gets bumped, so new downvoters can add to the tally.
I'd guess MeauxJeaux2's "Better gas mileage at 100 mph" thread got at least 800.

People are going to try to figure that out.
Well played.

RFK’s thread about guys wearing Polo shirts got hammered pretty good, as I recall. And rightfully so.

Op requested a DBA. It appears DR’s post went over your head. Do you even SQL, brah?
Posted on 3/18/18 at 3:21 pm to DarthRebel
Are you a SQL guy work wise?
Posted on 3/18/18 at 3:21 pm to DarthRebel
Never thought my SQL knowledge would pay off on the OT

Why? There are a lot of decent threads that get more downvotes than upvotes and a lot of crap threads that get more upvotes. What are you expecting to find?
Posted on 3/18/18 at 3:30 pm to vuvuzela
Rfk telling other men how to dress was pretty much downvoted by everyone.

This would return the top 5 most upvoted and downvoted posters. OP asked for most upvoted and downvoted POSTS.

If you want to see some impressive work go to /r/downvotetrolling

I'm thinking your missing the JOIN of users and posts.
Assuming upvotes and downvotes are just a column on posts
SELECT u.id, u.username, SUM(p.downvotes)
FROM users u
LEFT JOIN posts p
ON p.user_id = u.id
GROUP BY u.id
ORDER BY SUM(p.downvotes) DESC
LIMIT 5

Just look at Rex’s post history and don’t do any of that.
