Was recently banned from a whole bunch of DB0 communities for, as best as I can gather, downvoting once when I viewed by All.

Important notes:

  1. I don’t use scripts.
  2. I don’t mass-downvote Communities. If I see a post I generally don’t like when browsing All, I may downvote one post, block the Community and move on.
  3. Some of the communities I was banned from don’t have any posts in them so I wouldn’t have been able to downvote anything.
  4. Of all of these Communities, in my history I downvoted one post in one of them. Voting in this manner is not vote manipulation. It’s quite literally a feature of the platform and as a mod of another Community, I would consider it pretty good etiquette.
  5. One of my bans reads “Appeal Granted, not a brigading member” but I’m still banned.
  6. I don’t troll.

WTF is going on here?

    Across multiple communities, all the same subject, a singular downvote in each…

    Obviously this is just my guess, but that’s what I would probably think based on what’s been going on.

      Snoogums is correct, there was one downvote in one of those Communities, not in multiple. It was not in any way vote manipulation or brigading. Apologies if you’re reading something else, but I felt I was being quite clear with my wording.

        My mistake then, it read (to me) like you were saying you down voted once, in each of the communities you were banned from.

        Then all I could guess was timing. Multiple communities might depend on what client they are using, but in any case a single downvote to a ban rings as mod silliness to me, I agree.

      Actually, if you read the post they said it was a single down vote, not one for each community. They even said some of the communities don’t even have a single post to down vote.

      1. Some of the communities I was banned from don’t have any posts in them so I wouldn’t have been able to downvote anything.
      2. Of all of these Communities, in my history** I downvoted one post in one of them**

      You are ‘guessing’ the opposite of what actually happened, which is consistent with other dbzer0 AI fanatics who treat a single down vote as brigading.

        Thats not how their reply reads to me, but your attitude and responses dont interest me. So I’ll be done from here, enjoy your day.

          Would’ve had a lot more respect for you if you’d just been able to admit you were wrong when confronted with the evidence, but this type of “everyone’s dumb beliefs are valid” response is the cause of a whole host of other problems so clearly that was too optimistic.
