As I see it, these downvotes are better to just ignore, although they can feel bad for authors that are not aware of what is happening.
As it is, the upvote value from bdvoter plus the extras that follow that voting trail, is still more than the downvote removes, so its a net positive.
I hope that the involved parties can sort this out eventually.
I've gotten a bigger downvote from themarkymark than the upvote from bdvoter once lol. And the last one even happened before I got an upvote from Splinterlands.
I'll probably just ignore it in the future, unfortunately there's nothing you can really do about it. Nevertheless, I wanted to address the issue and perhaps enlighten one or two people who don't know what's going on.
Yeah, its much easier to accept it once we know its not about the content of the post 👍
