Downvote bot on the boards

Every post starts with -1 and some even dip as low as -50 or higher. I don't know if it's a bot like last time with the non stop spam to -50 or if it's an internal issue with the new update setting all posts to -1 instantly, but it is creating a very negative aura on the boards.

Kind of ironic how Riot managed to fuck up something as simple as a privately owned forum. Pretty clearly shows the type of company Riot is, one that won't spend a single penny on their community, but is more than happy with taking away things like events and paid Rioters to work on the boards.

It seems like Laughing Fish was right all along. The only thing that's left is the removal of Boards.

Every post does not start at -1. When I see posts that are just whining and complaining, I'm usually the first to give it a downvote. Not everything is bots. Expect low-effort posts to get a couple downvotes out of every hundred views. Like this one!

Well we got an update on this.

Turns out, the heralds don't even think it's real. They stated so in this thread. So this entire time they haven't even STARTED working on a fix as they still don't think it's real lol

Tbh the sooner you all just ignore the bot, the sooner it will stop. They’re doing it for attention, and you’re giving it to them. The only thing anyone can do is remove votes from the boards entirely, or lock threads.
