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?

You could make an decent argument that downvotes are censorship on a site as large as reddit, and maybe on voat, but phuks is small enough to where everyone sees everything.

You should also consider that sites like reddit, voat, and phuks are actually designed with limited democratic censorship in mind. If the majority vote that some content is the least acceptable, it appears last.

And finally, I really don't think its a bot. I think you probably pissed someone off, and downvoting you makes them feel better. Its up to you if you let their internet tantrum bother you or not.

It's more for new submissions rather than comments. I heard that when a submission is immediately downvoted it's treated differently than the single point everyone is given.

I'm not concerned about points but expect my voice to be heard equally.

Edit: Absolutely it's one person (not a bot) who allowed himself to be ticked off enough he's unable to move forward.

There is definitely a bandwagon effect. If it makes you feel any better, posts that get immediately downvoted actually attract my attention more than one that doesn't get voted on at all. I'm generally interested to figure out what someone dislikes about any given post or comment.
