EDIT:Correction - it's every single post and comment they make
Check it out for yourselves. I can't post a screen shot because I'm too lazy to figure out how to get a shot that includes the mouse-hover text.
I think it's very unlikely to be 12 separate users who always dislike u/Corporis 's posts at around about the same time, lol. So it's bots or alts I guess, unless 12 different users want to weigh in and tell me I'm wrong. The most downvotes other users generally have in hot is 2-3. What do users think about this?
If this post turns nasty I'll be deleting it, just so you know.
EDIT: so as expected, it happened to this post too, and the comments have been vote manipulated. Hopefully genuine users here appreciate my drawing attention to this.
I disagreed with one of his premises about Russia's sovereignty over Ukraine and ever since, I've received 1 extra downvote on everything I do. I think >!FChinaLongTime!< beefs with him also over the same issue.
If he's got haters they're only doing what he himself does. As far as I know, it's not us normies brigading him. Shill Wars.
This is exactly my sentiment. I had a run-in with him and then I started receiving down votes on every comment and post, so yeah I think he has made his own bed.
Funniest thing to me is the trope that the baddies always confess through projection. So claiming to be mass-voted while in the act of mass-voting others is exactly what I'd expect from his account.
Got an example of Pro ruskie spam?
This is the exact kind of shill talk I'm talking about.
Honestly, no idea. But good job glad to see someone is doing something somewhere.
How many other users did you post about when they get downvoted?
If you get mass downvoted like this on every post and comment you make, report it. I don't have time to go looking through every one's vote score details.
Ok. fair'nuff
You don't have the balls to delete the post jannie.
...
Nice projection from the guy who brings me into something I have nothing to do with. I must have said something true that your feathers are still rustled over. How weak and pathetic of you.
You do realize that this site was created by people who left Reddit, right? What a fucking retard.
Rent free, faggot.
Says the guy who is named after the guy who started Reddit. Not very self-aware, are you?
i have a hypothesis lmao u/corporis is as over the target with current united states government conspiracy nuggets as one can get lmao i enjoy watching shills shit themselves over their posts lmao mUh tRuMp oPeRaTiVe lmao morans lmao
I have noticed this. It is to bury the information so people can't see it. The voting system is one of the biggest vulnerabilities of reddit-style forums.
Judas keeps flip-flopping.
But seriously, in the comments here you see a lot of " u/Corporis does it, people will do it back, blah blah, it's real people doing this" kind of thing, but I don't buy it.
Sure he'd get a few genuine downvotes, but here was in the region of 10-12 extra down votes beyond what's normal. On every single post and comment. It is targeted, though my guess it's just a couple of users who have lots of alts they use for voting here, but don't make comments with (except to get enough points to downvote). We have a few users who seem to have been assigned here (or assigned themselves). No amount of banning deters them, they never contribute anything but hatred of the user base, they rarely make posts except to mock and they clearly have no interest in conspiracies whatsoever.
Thank you. I'm with you for the most part, except we can't really know at this stage who it is or how many people are involved. It is far too easy to do this, so it could literally be one person or even a government-level action.
I have noticed this pattern--usually in reverse--for a long time now on hundreds of posts and comments. Voting totally sucks.
The vax shills were thicc last week and it’s been quiet since, so I know we have been invaded by bots, paid propagandists, and alts. Honestly, it’s all probably from just one furry, purple-haired Reddit trannie fag.
The regime gets superpact monies that they can launder through NGOs to fund people who perform social media influence operations. Seeing as Corporis tends to post anti establishment topics, this to me this feels like that could be what this is.
Could you create a post about this so we can share information about that topic?
Yes
What does it matter to anything? Corporis could be botting against himself for 'credibility' for all we know.
Up and down votes are a terrible system anyway. Even if the system isn't being manipulated artificially, it's still mob rule by a mass of idiots.
All these reddit spin-offs enable all the same features that allowed reddit to be gamed.
There isn't a good way to prevent shills and mob rule on an anonymous forum, so the best we can do is eliminate the features that make it worse.
Information needs to stand on it's own for everyone to evaluate, not filtered through populism.
At the very least, users should only be allowed to up/downvote while replying.
50/50 on this being the game. what reasons would he be controversial for? he called everyone with upvoted posts "toxic abusers", I think he may be a tranny too.
Voting represents a suggestion and if one consents to it, then one consents to the conflict of reason (want vs not want aka upvote vs downvote) among everyone consenting to the same suggestion...a suggestion defined; redefined and contradicted only by those suggesting it.
You are the choice; using it to consent to the voting suggested by others ignores that and puts you into a conflict defined by an outside party.
Corporis doesn't always post topics that I care about, but they have a good eye for topics.
Thank you.
That's interesting. It looks like someone is using multiple alts to broad downvote his post history because it is a similar downvote count across nearly all his many posts. Not organic. Also interesting that the user doesn't seem to notice or complain about it much (?).
I notice he has repeatedly posted two things:
And this seems to usually be directed at:
I've noticed some, "The war in Ukraine is not as the media portrays it."
He has good posts. There's a few establishment echo chamber accounts. One of them told me there's no biolabs in Ukraine, I cited the secretary of state admitting it, and they said "they're biolabs, not bioWEAPON labs". Lol I asked "what's the difference?" and got crickets.
Just keep letting them know they think a guided tour of the capital with antifa filming the whole thing are "nazis" but when it comes to actual swastika flying, ethnic cleansing, neonazis in Ukraine they support the shit out of them. "Because Russia".
/u/clemaneuverers it seems all the toxic and abusive users are getting upvoted massively in this post and anyone noticing it getting massively downvoted, right in line with the user that is breaking site rules and vote manipulating posts.
Don't moderators have access to logs with time/IP of voters/downvoters?
If you do - check order of downvotes and time difference. You will clearly see a repeating pattern if it is not real different people who are so obsessed with this user.
If you find out that it is something definitely automatic, you could try to find similar patterns for votes, and if you do, it will be a pointer to the source of that thing.
As for me, I don't care about votes at all, I prefer to take in mind the content, not that karma thing.
No access to any of that stuff. That's why I made the post, I can't identify who is doing it so I thought I would draw the attention of the community to it.
Yes, I have a pathetic stalker that is violating site policy and persistently harassing me for a long time now. It is not organic.
are you schizophrenic?
A mod complaining a single user gets mass downvoted would be a sign of them paying a lot of attention to that account over others. If I got mass downvoted would you even notice?
Eventually yes. No other user is currently experiencing this kind of vote manipulation that I am aware of. If it happens to you report it and I'll see if I agree. I respond to reports as best I can, though the majority of reports here are not serious, in my opinion.
No, I was noticing someone was breaking site rules and massively vote manipulating down all my posts within minutes of me posting. Hence, I tried re-posting.
