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 see them. My sneaky fox senses have had me watching for a few days - https://kek.gg/i/4mHBFz.jpeg

This one is tricky. This is kinda why reddit started vote fuzzing and not showing real vote numbers. They could create lists of malicious users and make the votes count less towards the sorts for everyone else.

This topic has come up a few times while building the sorts and to "fix" it usually puts a human in charge of how phuks displays content for everyone else. If you have any ideas, we're open for input.

Ideas for alternative content display: (1) Rank according to controversy, by adding a point to a post for each upvote-downvote pair. (2) Reverse rank by swapping the effects of upvotes and downvotes.

Personally, I'm more concerned about impacts on user rankings (and privilege given to high-ranking users), than content visibility via sorts. I tend to browse via 'new' and did the same on voat.

yes, both of those I want too. what to call them? (the names have to fit on small buttons) Hot/New/Top..

"Spicy" for controversial

"Cold" .. opposite of hot... maybe Gross or Phukd

Sounds good to me.

Random thought: If you could somehow characterize the most 'average' posts, you could rank them under 'meh'.
