I was informed about the approach that was used by logic to prove a point about the 0.1% downvotes that are applied randomly to people. Not saying I approve of fighting fire with fire or condone the actions of small dvs on new users to prove a point to the community.
Were these downvotes larger than 1% and did it affect their reputation? Certainly it could be viewed as discouraging and not encouraging for new users to continue their Hive journey.
I do not agree with this approach by zombie. There is healthier ways to find solutions to perceived problems.
I don't recall the percent, but their reputation was definitely affected (knocked down to 18 or 19 I believe), which is why I upvoted with my personal account to bring them back up. And there were multiple downvotes on each post, as he apparently has a small trail following his downvotes.
And in my experience, any time I've seen a spaminator downvote (I'm assuming that's what he's referencing, and not the other random small downvotes from those who shall not be named for fear of awakening their bots...lol) and I looked into the account, I discovered there was a reason for them, and they weren't just some random thing. I'm not saying there might not be cases that happens, just that I've never encountered them.
I have had adamdumbc.... that v2skull fristken guy and others auto downvote my dynamicgreentk account which is part of why I have been using other accounts to post.
I don't want to jinx anything, but I just took a quick peek and it seems to have been well over a month since either account has been active.
Hopefully, that is the case but I kind of felt like the front end owners just censored them out justifiably so. But either way that is good news!
Yep, I know they got muted by most frontends, but I was going by their activity tabs on PeakD, which isn't something that can be censored (as far as I know, anyway). And I agree & hope the good news continues!
