How does a Phuks user eliminate automatic downvoting of every comment and submission to this site?
In my circumstance downvoting may even affect those who interact with me. Look at my history.
Is there a way to directly contact Admins to address this?
I like the transparency of up/down votes you mentioned, but that could get catty if too specific. Then again, if you participate in cattiness then maybe you deserve the back and forth's result, as long as it's limited specifically to those participating.
Actually, showing more information on our user pages would help this a little:
Things were altered a while back so that we can no longer see how many upvotes and downvotes we receive and give. If you displayed this information in full it would more clearly identify when a user has a lower score due to a lot of downvotes being given, and when a user is doing way more downvoting than our modest spam can justify.
