    not a conspiracy, but is it possible for the mods to check accounts that have been made just to poison the well?

    I find it curious that for the past few weeks, we haven't had any real new users but some posts just get downvoted in a matter of minute,

    maybe some people are just fed up, but this is a discussion forum and many of us have been here for more than a decade, I don't see why the new downvote button which actually does nothing to hide the message being said changes anything from before

    either some people do not feel like certain subject should be discussed (which is somehow acceptable) or there is something afoot,

    e.g: post something with one of my alt in fem thread, get no downvotes,
    post the same thing with my account get 5 or more downvotes in less than 5 min,

    I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one noticing the weird downvotes,

    I have even conducted a small experiment (sorry guys ehehe),
    but I will randomly upvote every single post on a page to see which one will be sent back to zero and will do the same by downvoting every single post on a page and wait for the same.

    when done in positive, the same users will be sent back to 0 or negative no matter the comment "gilgamush, yurimon, calles" have been users that I've seen get that treatment

    when done in negative, some users that I won't name will have their accounts jump back in positive very fast, it's not even that discreet when you pay attention. some users will have 2 to 3 upvotes jumpstart no matter how boring their comments is, just pay attention and you will notice what I've been saying.

    solution, I have found none yet.

    • I think the serial down voting is a way for the community to say, "don't post anything here ever again."monospaced
    • The fact that yuri gets immediate negative votes regardless of post translates to the fact that many people simply don't want him on QBN. At all.monospaced
    • That's just my take on the situation. I gave up using the votes a few days after they were introduced.monospaced
    • yeah me too,
      but my point is that we'll all know each other and I don't see the point of downvoign someone when I could just ignore him      GeorgesII
    • Perhaps to let them know they aren't wanted here anymore. There are a few people I would like gone for good and I know I'm not alone. I can tell by the votesmonospaced
    • Certain individuals have made it impossible to even discuss certain topics and they continue to ruin it for others. I'm waiting for them to leave or be banned.monospaced
    • For now it seems the down votes are all anyone can use to single them out? Mods won't ban people unless they spam though. Whatever.monospaced
    • Group think™ this community hates differing opinions.Hayoth
    • Not in the slightest, Hayoth. We hate pricks who make generalizations like that after everyone is fucking sick of their differing. and unoriginal, opinions.monospaced
    • Some people don't seem to get the clue, even when it's being screamed at them in all caps, that they not only get the point, that they're sick of it.monospaced
    • I'm downvoted by canadians mostly. Monospace is extremely biased. I'm glad hes not a mod.yurimon
    • showing who voted would fix this quickmoldero
    • reddit posts = instant downvote from me.fadein11
    • you must be a busy guy thats 80% of the site, but a bit slacking, canadian election 2015 hasnt seen much downvoting.yurimon
    • fadein, why would reddit be different from any other news aggregator, get a grip homie!GeorgesII
    • Not blaming the site - I am talking about the irrelevant junk you post on here from it.fadein11
    • Are you saying that it's the downvotes that are poisoning the well? Not the bullshit posts and 90+ sterile side comments but the mother fucking downvotes. +1 4UO0O0O0
    • anything thats true gets instant downvoted.yurimon
    • I've been bemoaning the -1 contingent for months now, to no avail. It's pointless and poisonous. Should be like HN where you have to be positive to be negative.detritus

    • Wuuurlstaaar. Make it visable who voted for what and 'problem' solved. Passive aggressive downvotes do nothing without accountabilitygilgamush
    • fadein, who made fuckn admin, some people really take this website way to seriously, don't you see how ridiculous you sound?GeorgesII
    • yeah, 000000 downvotes are what is poinsoning it, last time I checked, we're not living in fuckn SA and still have the right to say what we want, when we want..GeorgesII
    • Downvotes are stopping you from saying what you want? That's your argument?O0O0O0
    • I say we make a petition to get rid of downvotes. I will update this petition every week if that will bring peace.O0O0O0
    • that was an argument when i first got downvoted but now meh... get over your fear of being separated from the herd if you have it.yurimon
    • Yurimon is my friendO0O0O0
    • i automatically upvote anything yuri says that's not negativescarabin
    • i also tend to upvote shit that gets downvoted for no apparent reasonscarabin
    • I've put getting rid of downvotes to a vote twice and it has never gotten any support.
