I'm not sure if you saw my response to your post about this. It's still up for consideration - I'll probably make a post about it in the near future... probably more succinctly worded than before.
I don't believe that everyone downvoting this post is a shill or an astroturfer. Some people here may just not like seeing rants and wild accusations of shilling all over the place.
I don't care if the shilling is malicious and intentional or just useful idiocy, they do not deserve the right to influence this sub just for the fact that they loaded a webpage and started clicking buttons.
If I know people are downvoting that have a decent ccp it's a lot different than when I know any account that was created 5 seconds ago could be sitting in here hitting the downvote button. It's always keywords from topics that get hit too, particularly vaccines and gmos.
I'm saying that the people downvoting content may be legitimate regular visitors to this sub who have good intentions and valid reasons for downvoting, not that they are idiots at all. That said, what posts apart from this one have you seen which received unwarranted downvotes in your opinion? if we can give them close scrutiny then we may yet overcome any damage which has occurred.

This sub needs to implement a CCP standard for downvoats.
