Several days ago, I noticed a slew of posts that where complaining about negative votes. I have also noticed some members with excessively huge points here yet have only been a member for a limited time. This means one of two things, A/ there are some real no-lifers here, or 2/ that the paid shills are working over-time to get points to try and beat the voting system here.
PLEASE USE YOUR DOWNVOTES. basically, if there are obvious undesirables here, VOAT has given us the ability to diminish their influence. Do not feel that it is somehow socially bad to downvote someone. the button is there, use it for the greater good. :)
Edit: Aaaw, and the shills feefee's have been hurt, the downvote brigade has started. lol. like I actually care. I personally love the attention and wish we could have a downvote total attached to our profile. because downvotes do not hurt me, but they do hurt the shills ability to function. :)

This is absolutely solid advice. This doesn't mean we should be downvoting people just because they hold an opinion different from our own, but downvotes when used judiciously are a responsible part of helping to moderate our community.

exactly, do not just knee jerk downvote, but look at what a person is doing. what is their history? If they obviously are here for a sinister reason, then hit them, and keep hitting them. Just like my dear Papa told me. :)

I don't know about "hitting" so much as expressing what kind of behavior or conduct isn't preferred here. :P

nicely put.
