I've noticed that some fairly good posts are downvoted into oblivion on voat without any reason... maybe the user is an "enemy"? I'm sure there're some SBBH types that all brigade together on their least favoured users. What strikes me as odd is there is no justification on -5 -7 posts... so five or seven people downvote and don't even leave a reason? weird and not cool. just attacking a user.

Wouldn't it be nice if people had to at the least justify downvote? It's an opportunity to learn how to better post if you really fucked up as OP... however most things shouldn't be downvoted though if there's effort from OP... amiright? thoughts?

That was meant about voat... I see certain posts that just get downvoted without any real ideas as to why... other than it's always the same people... I mentioned it wasn't really relevant here

Yeah, there's definitely massive brigades over there. I'd love to see a comment to downvote policy there, the drama would be through the roof!

I noticed because I check at like 6 am here when I start getting up and there's a guy, maxcactus, who must just be lividly hated because anything he posts goes instant -5... and I checked a few out and they're actually good posts... I think the guy is a labelled shill or something iunno

edit: the drama would be interesting... I assume the SBBH crowd would start the bitching unless putt made an announcement... they all gather around him like sheeple
