How about instead of block, I change it to subscribe. And you are automatically subscribed to everyone until you unsubscribe from them? Then I can ask you, "Why are you subscribed to him if you don't want to see his posts?"
Not a terrible idea but it's still not better than simply letting the votes speak for themselves. It seems to me like you're avoiding this very simple solution because it involves more work on your end, watching for vote farms and the like.
It’s a deliberate effort to flood the site with garbage. 4chan /pol/ is the same way. It only serves to frustrate legitimate site users and dissuade new people from sticking around. The downvote is the only weapon we have against it and now this place will be even worse off. Let moderators handle it or let the users handle it. I see no difference between the vote bot that got banned and artificially limiting votes.
I've been around since the digg days. These websites have always been about posting links from different parts of the web. You are right in regards to downvotes being a way to filter quality, and that's what it should be used for. Targeting a user with downvotes isn't voting based on quality though, that is the issue. It's petty bullshit. I also know that 2.5:1, even 4:1 is incredibly generous, unless you are the type to be petty and downvote the user instead of the content, but even then it wouldn't be an issue if you engaged with the site a bit more by upvoting other content/users you do enjoy.
If a user posts nothing but spam, downvoting their posts isn't "targeting a user", it's downvoting spam. If there's a genuine downvoat farm targeting a specific user, as I've experienced in the past, it's your job to deal with it.
I also know that 2.5:1, even 4:1 is incredibly generous
Retarded and gay. There should be no ratio, to have one is to engage in pointless statistical fuckery that benefits no one.
Let the down votes decide. If the user gets too annoying that blocking doesn't work, then take the next step to remove their acct. Gradeapatriot is a prime example of constantly changing their name and annoying users just to get a rise out users.
Problematic users should be policed by the majority. How egregious is their behavior that they are shunned by many? I am aggressively insulting toward most and I don’t get auto downvotes. I like Joe McCarthy but he has deliberately trolled many decent members here. Let your userbase do it for you. We identify spammers and shitheads. I also migrated from digg to reddit.

These spammers need to be limited to 2-3 posts a day. That’s 10 posts in one hour. How is that not spamming or worse, sliding organic legitimate posts. Of course this retard jeet will probably make multiple accounts. But why not limit posts per IP
That would be the better system IF most were garbage, with only a small number worthwhile. As it is, most are at least tolerable and only a few need to be blocked.
Hi. He obviously kows that he can block me insead of bitching and moaning. The probem is this site is full of trolls with alt accounts. It's enough to check insulting accounts to see that they only shitpost spam like him or have no posts at all.
You literally post nothing but spam from reddit and conpro, plus inane polls and questions to try to pass as a human instead of a pajeet. Get the fuck out.
We agree on this Dingus, MY downvotes should mean something. They should mean that I disagree with this person, find his submission inaccurate and his opinion invalid.
But as far as spamming goes..........

You post BULLSHIT all the time, some of it I like and is valuable, the rest I just move the fuck on from. Especially when you're throwing one of your tantrums and you get yourself all worked up.
How much OC do they post? Other than asking questions or that kind of shit? Some xposting from other sites is fine, but when it's all your team does y'all are up to something.
I used to think they were working out of India, but now I'm pretty sure they're either Russian or Ukrainian jews. Either way they're getting paid for whatever it is they're trying to accomplish.
