[Meta] There seems to be a downvoting bot around here. Every thread and every single comment has at least one downvote. Is there any way to fix this? (sh.itjust.works)

The bots are trying real hard to bury this post. Guess I triggered the keyword. How does one look that log up? And does blocking a user really disable them from downvoting your post?

Upon further research, I've realized that the upvote/downvote logs are only available to instance admins. Also, other users have said blocking a user does not disable them from downvoting your posts, so my idea wouldn't work anyway. Sorry :(

Or maybe this isn't the kind of content (even well tagged meta) that lots of readers want to see or think is good in general.

Of course, traditionally any whining about downvotes or other vote manipulation should be met with downvotes.
