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?
The admins could automatically check for users who are downvoted consistently and users who appear to be obviously targeting certain people consistently. I'm not sure what they do when a problem user is detected though... shame them with a badge, ban them, send them a polite message telling them to cut it out? All measures can be easily circumvented by problem users.
I try to counteract some of your undeserved downvotes and I'm sure others do too. That's probably the best that can be done for now.
It's not just content visibility: phuks system for ranking users is just based on raw popularity. If you attract a group of problem users or alts it's not hard to game it.
The admins say ranking doesn't matterMy impression is that the admins say ranking does matter much, but it already confers various benefits, and attracts respect through apparent seniority. I can only see ranking mattering more in future.
