First of all, I'm not staff.

I've perused the past 10 days of posts. Only 3 posts had what I would consider a significant amount of negative votes, greater than 5.

Furthermore, I can't find a user by the name of mumbleberry. The page for that username is a 404: https://phuks.co/u/mumbleberry

In conclusion: What are you on about?

EDIT: Also, it's not like the user account got banned or else it would be in the sitelog: https://phuks.co/sitelog

Not sure about this one, maybe people thought it was akin to spam?

It is spam. They go out of their way to make the page look legit, but it is just clever spam. If you look closely it is marketing. That domain has been showing up regularly for a long time now, and has been warned many times, but continues anyway.

Hm, it does have a lot of words and says very little. What is it marketing, though? This whole site is like that, a lot of words but no substance.

All right, I get it. Thanks.

The more I looked at those accounts, the more confusing it became.
Sometimes the 'articles' are about a product. Other times not. All falls under the 'Internet Of Things' umbrella.
I can guess that it is part camouflage. But it was very quickly outed here, and has been buried in downvotes every time it posts. But keeps coming back.

The admins seem to have a better idea of what its motives are. I can only describe the odd behaviour.
It's never a legit informative or entertaining anything, so spam.
