I lost all my points (karma).

When I woke up this morning my 19 points had turned to zero points. I suspect that someone was down-modding me. Firstly, I didn't even know there was a way to down-mod people, secondly, is there any way to get these points back and/or stop that person from down-modding me in the future.

You're right. Someone went on a downmodding spree.

I restored your karma. Now I'm going to have to write some software to prevent this kind of abuse. Great. As if I didn't have enough to do...
