I went and asked in discort, and I was getting downvoted for wrong reasons.
They have a record of each user, and they blacklisted.
And atleast spaminator is a autobot run by hivewatchers.
I been removed from blacklist now, but that criteria for blacklisting me itself was wrong, @hivewatcher did not verify, but I am glad that I should not be receiving anymore downvotes.
If only the discort link in spaminator account was updated to correct one I would have approached them earlier and got less downvotes, some articles of late were downvoted severely but its over I guess.
I am not talking about this further now...although I still say downvote mechanism should be tweaked to avoid a issue that will come when platform scales and users hop in...
All my Hive posts votes are organic, meaning got upvotes fairly not by other ways... which @hivewatcher understood, and told I am removed from blacklist.
anyway...
I believe this is the power of speaking.
yes... should not show anger I guess, I have been unfairly downvoted but should not rant on that, and just clear off from blacklist and move on. that happened, I did not expect.
We should speak.
Not sure it works with them. I felt like your summoned to a place, and one entity has record (account)of you... they tell you , you did this, which I did not, and... its a accusation ... they have no proper evidence too... finally you say no I did not do this...they finally release you... nothing about the downvote rewards taken from you before.
Pretty hard. Can't speak
If you speak it will be like when the accusation is baseless, why the downvotes, what about all that's wiped off for no reason?
No... can't speak up but just say your not done what they accused for.. but atleast they responded and did remove blacklist. End of story
it happened fast there... and no apology letter etc... many people needing to write apology letter... I guess thats for people who did something wrong... anyway
In the end, lets see what happens will the downvote mechanism be adopted to deal with downvote overreach, maybe in future, may not be... till then, tow the line, not do anything that offends the downvoter as much as possible... that's all can be done for now!!
dust downvotes can be ignored, but I was of late getting bomb downvotes, which had me write this post...something came out of it anyway.
That's why I say, just speak.
