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:
- I don’t use scripts.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- One of my bans reads “Appeal Granted, not a brigading member” but I’m still banned.
- I don’t troll.
WTF is going on here?
How would they organise it?
What do you mean by “how”? Maybe by time posted or by last reply in that community, that sounds like an okay choice.
That would mean there’s zero quality control and larger communities new posts would flood out older posts. No-one supports this idea.
Yeah, you’re right about the larger ones. But smaller ones don’t really need quality control, in my opinion. So perhaps they would add a toggle?
Up to community owners. You can already filter by /new/ now.
We already have that?
Yes.
Cool. Now I realized I sound like an idiot who posts before doing proper research. Regardless, thank you for letting me know.

It’s a shit choice, many of us have grown up experiencing it via forums and boards. The community curated stuff is so much better than the ‘last rando to spam something’ system.
yeppers, the whole original appeal of reddit (digg) was the voting system lol we wanted community curation instead of BUMP
