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?

    Let’s say you don’t speak German, when you see the german posts in the ALL feed do you downvote them each and every time because they are in a language you don’t understand?

    That’s not a very good comparison, they were specifically stating they down voted something they thought was harmful and shouldn’t be promoted.

    For your example it would be closer to seeing a post written in German but it’s a post saying positive things about Nazis or something.

    Then yeah, I would hope people would down vote it.
