Why everything is downvoted.

There is a downvote bot. It has been here for many months now. And for some god unknown reason the mods have decided that instead of removing downvoted they are going to keep pretending the obviously failed system is working fine.

Though tbf maybe they don’t know how bad it is. None of the people in charge of the boards are part of the community. They only ever post here to remind people how great the mod team is and how wrong anyone who questions them is. Assuming they even post at all that is.

So, a herald just stated in this thread that he doesn't even think the vote bot is doing this. So don't hold your breath on a fix, the heralds literally haven't even been working on one this entire time as they don't think it's real.
