What an odd thing to display. I wonder what their reasoning is for this?

Ooh, would you happen to know whereabouts? I can’t seem to locate it. Sorry…

Sure! So, for example, our current weekly topic and this new topic by a user have been downvoted by user named @Pfeffy@lemmy.world. Looking around, there’s a few others within they’ve downvoted as well with no upvotes anywhere. Checking the modlog shows they’ve been banned from other communities for vote manipulation as well (among other things). They don’t need to be able to do this.

Checking older posts, I see that someone named @corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca had gone in and downvoted dozens of things with no upvotes. Nearly every topic we had at the time, in fact (or at least as many as I looked at). This is not only against community rules, but it’s a pretty shit thing to do.

We’ve also got old blank accounts like @arnacre@lemmy.world and @lanky@feddit.nl with zero posts or anything of any kind downvoting. They’re not contributing anything anywhere, so they don’t need to be there at all.

That’s just a few examples, but there’s more.

WOW. Community mods can now see votes and I can now verify things I’ve been suspecting for a long time. There’s a ton of non-posting users going into the community and downvoting every topic in it.

Does anyone know how we can ban someone from a community for vote manipulation if they’ve never posted there?

Voted! Not waiting this time.

All good! That’s what I get for putting it off.

I quite like the winning English song. The other two I have a viscerally negative reaction to though…

Dang, thought I’d have more time to vote.

Looks like I get to be first! Nice.
