I going to be upfront about this. I originally posted this as a response to another person's thread, but felt I should make a fresh post as well.
Yesterday morning I made my first post to the_donald and about noon, EST, yesterday I had 75 votes (70up/5down). I just checked and it's now 63 votes (53up/10down). Yes it may not have been an explosive post, and I don't post often on anything (i don't have much to contribute so I just read), but I was happy with my 75.
This is some blatant manipulation here. Could those missing votes be from people who decided to leave the communist regime of Reddit? Sure, but I don't think so. Mass down voting is happening. Further proof Reddit is dead and it's time to let it die.
I just nuked my account and I got this, "your account has been deactivated, but we won't judge you for it." How fucking passive aggressive is that? Can even let people leave without acting like a child.
Edited for spelling and grammar. I really need to read this before I hit post.
How are you actively viewing the number of upvotes vs downvotes? I've been curious about it for a long time but never knew how to look.
I checked it yesterday and did the math. I had 72 upvotes at something like 92% positive, calculated the percent difference and the time and got 75. That told me the vote ratio. Did the same thing this morning. It's not a live tracking, but you can estimate the activity on the posting.
Cool cool thanks for the info my guy
The sub count is actually going up, and has been since the upvote kerfuffel, at a far faster pace then usual. Anyone else notice this?
