So uuuh, just made a discussion thread, theorizing about the possibility that the Ruined King will be added as a champion to sr. Just a friendly discussion to maybe hype ourselves over. What. The. Hell. I've amassed 60 downvoted in like an hour with barely any comments. Is this being addressed? What in the world is going on?
ModThe Djinn4 votesOne or more individuals are spamming upvotes/downvotes indiscriminately. It's been going on for a little while now, and is indeed a bit irritating. Sorry they hit your thread.
Jaspers3 votesCan they be turned off? Good discussions will naturally get lots of views and posts, so upvotes (while this is going on) are kinda pointless at the moment, and does make the entire board look messy.
Like there is a post in TFT with someone saying they are done minutes ago and it already has -61.
EATARI1 votesUnfortunately, bots can’t be stopped with the current boards technology. It’s unaffiliated individuals who are upset with system, choosing to act destructively with a small horde of bot accounts. Mods can’t determine the accounts because voting is anonymous and the bots don’t comment. They’re looking into potential solutions right now. As for entirely turning off votes, that can only be done on a thread by thread basis, and requires moderator action, so it’s not particularly feasible.
