And does this surprise you, op? I think you have seen ample evidence of so called "troll" comments garner more attention and clicks in ekşisözlük. They are doing this, because they want attention and google provides an easy way to do it. You don't even have to write a provocative content, just click 1 star and you are on the top of the world.
A community, be it a virtual or a real one, has its trolls, e.g. misusers. If you promote such a behavior, albeit unintentionally, increase in repetition of such behavior is very expectable. The thing to do in my humble opinion is rethinking this feedback mechanism and rebuild it in the content quality's favor.
