    If people stopped downvoting memes, they probably wouldn’t have to delete and make new accounts all the time.

    Massive amounts of downvotes display as warnings next to the username on certain instances, and this will attract more downvotes. There’s possibly also a posting limit for people with huge amounts of downvotes, and more of a chance of instances hiding these posts.

        Usually it just means that the topic of the meme/comic/etc is divisive somehow.

        I’m pretty sure this poster is the same one who posted these a few weeks ago.

        They get a lot of ⚠️ next to their usernames and just seem to post comics and delete their account to make a new one and do the same thing every however long.

      1. The warnings appear only to piefed users, which are a small fraction of Threadisers. And given whoever is doing this isn’t even on piefed, they wouldn’t be seeing it to begin with.
      2. The comics they’ve been posting have for the most part been highly upvoted, so they would have a positive reputation score, not negative.
      3. There is no such posting limit. And it doesn’t explain them deleting their own posts which have garnered huge amounts of upvotes and comments.

      In case you are unaware, I’m referring to an ongoing person trolling the comics comm, it’s been an active trend for the past month or so.

      Edit: This comment thread picked up 3 ppl downvoting me and upvoting the other commentor immediately. Checking the vote ids, of course it’s OP and their sibling day old accounts. Yay for vote manipulation.

        Good thing that votes here have no meaning either.

        People still can’t help but get attached to them.
