MODERATORS
A bot that reveals that behaviour to the community would be very helpful.
lemvotes.org
there are absolutely folks on this platform who do not engage in communities at all except to downvote people. I emailed the sopuli admin about an account with no comments, no posts, and thousands of downvotes and they didn't respond. i noticed the account because every time i post in an lgbt sub they downvote me no matter what the subject is.
I'm moving over to piefed as soon as the voyager support is a little more robust.
oh also the guy in the sandwich posting comm who downvotes all the other posts when he posts something is a riot. he'll downvote your post and then comment in it like he's supporting it. people are shits when they think they can get away with it.
it's better to just ignore the downvotes but 🤷🏼♀️ i get curious
On PieFed instances the votes of serial downvoters are automatically discarded.
hey it's Rimu Piefed themself!
It's weird people constantly say mods have magic powers...
And I almost never see lemvotes mentioned.
Admins have a much easier time, that's why all the communities that ban people for down voting are moderated by admins of tiny instances.
Im pretty sure if they're not an admin of an instance (there's a lot of small ones out there) the mods are just using lemvotes.
Hell, your comment should be a TIL all by itself. Maybe people will stop bitching about their posts getting a single downvote when they can see it's just a few trolls.
That is gold. Thanks for the site.
Lmao, the sandwich guy is so funny to me
That would be helpful. The only problem is, I've found a person that is definitely a serial downvoter, but I can't ban them because they don't make comments. I guess I'll ask the admin to do it.
You can ban anyone from your communities with tesseract.
I love tesseract, but it doesn't save my settings. I guess I could go in and do that specifically. Thanks for the heads up.
Call their behaviour out in the community?
It's a small, new community, which is why I know that they're doing it. It's blatantly obvious.
