@Holovision thank you for your response.
While this could be a possibility
a) This should be mentioned in the comments to inform the user before hand. Information on the tribe and what it entails, what content is supported and is in line with Leo Finances terms. However this wasn't the case
b) Leo Finance has been recently added as a tag to contents posted. The gang of downvote spree has been happening prior to their tag being added, so that rules the chances of being the case
Unfortunately, it is not just one person downvoting with a trail. It's the same 4 users and over night a gang of users who went on all the posts to downvote maliciously with no supported comment to justify or inform.
Creating another account is not a solution in combating such malicious behavior. Infact it encourages circle downvoting without reasoning to continue.
Thank you so much for your upvotes and support in helping to increase the reputation score.

My guess was based on trying to put myself in the mindset of who was downvoting you and assume they were rational and had a reason. That was my best hypothesis based on that assumption and it could be wrong as many hypotheses turn out to be.
Yes, "should be mentioned" would be preferred but it's not a law or requirement. I just saw @iqraali88's reply a few minutes ago to this post and that would be just as likely a hypothesis. The fact that HiveWatchers stated in a follow up reply that your account has been blacklisted should have been a clue to you. There was little chance that @traciyork would know that you were the admin of a community you copied from because you never quoted, attributed, or gave an indication but nonetheless the content posted was recycled and in my opinion that seems legitimate.
Sorry I can't be more on your side but I have to go with the evidence and the nature of what the Hive blockchain is. Maybe you should have been given more explicit warning but I can also understand why someone would think that your account had been around long enough to have known better and didn't cut you the same slack that they would have for a new member.
Thanks for tagging me, @holovision as I would've missed this conversation otherwise.
It's been a minute, but from what I can tell from a quick scan through posts, my first interaction with @madam-ak happened on December 27th, 2022 where I explained to her that reposting essential the exact same thing multiple times is unexceptionable on Hive (and pointed out she'd been given that info in a comment under her very first post here) -

The next day, after she doubled down, I replied and issued the first of three downvotes on her post -

That same day, I also downvoted two additional posts, also with comments as to why -

As far as I can tell, that was my final interaction with her, and I have no idea (although I can guess, given she is still on the HiveWatchers blacklist) why others in the community have been downvoting her content as of late.
EDITED TO ADD: I just discovered this as well - a post around that same time where she cropped an IStock photo to remove the watermark and passed it off as her own.

Thanks for the additional information.
It sucks that peakd is not allowing me to see her content there because of her low reputation points. I'll have to find another way to see it.
Is there however anyway that she can be removed from the Hive Watcher's Blacklist? I am sure she made some mistakes as you pointed out and you called her out on it. However, those that come to Hive do not come with a manual. We learn here from trial and error. At least i did. And i am still learning. I'd like this to be resolved for her, and for her to be able to start on a clean slate..

@greywarden100, when I use peakd (on laptop, not mobile, which I'm not sure makes a difference) I can see hidden content by clicking the "Display post" link as shown below...
Same goes for her comments, as the message is the same.
As far as the blacklist, Hive Watchers left her instructions on what to do back in December, but it doesn't seem like she attempted to appeal. At this point, I'm not sure what's to be done unless she decides to try the appeal process now.
@traciyork
I wanted to thank you and @holovision for the time you spent trying to explain the transgressions of @madam-ak.
I really appreciate that you took the time to leave comments on the account to explaining the downvotes.
I have encountered a few downvote campaigns where I could not find an explanation for the downvotes.
The time it takes to explain a downvote campaign is always appreciated. Keep up the good work!
!WINE
Nope. I downvoted your posts three times back in December 2022, and each time with an explanation. I have no idea why you think that months after that, I'd launch some sort of "downvote campaign" on your account, but whatever the reason for the downvotes are, they have nothing to do with me.
You were also directed to a post by Hive Watchers & what they do for the community in the comment section of your intro post (along with other helpful links with info about the Hive community), but if you want to continue to claim that no one has explained anything to you, that's your prerogative.
Best if luck to you.
