Can moderators do something about Vote Harassment on the forum, please???

Hi mods from Out of Cards, I'm a bit... dissapointed today. I have noticed almost every single comment I have made on this website has a lot of downvotes, even posts like this one (https://outof.cards/forums/hearthstone/hearthstone-general/1337-kripps-very-useful-guide-about-zephrys-the-great):

Seriously, guys??? And didn't sinti, whose comment has a total of 3 upvotes, notice anything strange??? WTF???

I perfectly know and understand why so many people out there are total assholes, and once a user becomes at least a bit popular in a forum, negative reactions are likely to increse, only because it's fun to hurt someone you don't like. But the negative votes are really not the problem here, what really pisses me off is that you, yes, the mods, aren't doing absolutely nothing about it. I know you know me very well, I have been a very active member of this community for more than four years, and yeah, I'm not Mother Teresa of Calcutta and my usual behaviour is probably not the ideal one, but why do I have to remember you to do your job??? It's super obvious you are totally aware of this thing, especially because many of my posts with stupid amounts of downvotes are in short threads where you participated!!!

Of course, you should ignore this thread: https://outof.cards/forums/off-topic/general-chat/1194-the-downvote-effect; obviously most people there downvoted me just for everyone's fun, including mine, hehe. :P :P :P

But yeah, I'm super pissed off because of this. I thought this forum was handled by serious, responsable, helpful and attentive people, but it seems that is not the case... Damn, what a shame... :( :( :(

Time to find another hobby, I guess... ;) ;) ;)

are you seriously getting your panties in a bunch because of a few downvotes?

You do realize that these mean absolutely nothing and you can just ignore them

also have you ever considered that you might just be really annoying and people are sick of it.

Also right here you are demanding special treatment because "the mods know you" which is all kinds of wrong.

In other words, man up or leave. If you can't handle "downvotes" on the internet and need the admins to save you then you shouldn't be on the internet.

also downvoted for being a bad thread

I just want this forum to be a better place for everyone, my friend. I don't give a shit about the downvotes, I only hate authorities who don't give a f...k about their people. ;) ;) ;)

Learn to read, thank you!!! :D :D :D

you're literally here saying "mods help, me I'M being downvoted and you need to regulate how people are expressing their disdain because I'm a good boy"

you're literally blaming the mods for you being an obnoxious narcissist who needs validation wherever he goes

If you seriously don't see anything wrong about Vote Harassment on a forum while the authorities doing absolutely nothing about it, then you're totally lost my friend. You seem to not have any idea how the basic rules of a functional society work.

YourPrivateNightmare, get your anarchism out of this thread, please... >:-(

Honestly, Sherman, you're a unique case for us. You've made a career in the Hearthstone community out of trolling everyone. Because of this, it is hard to do anything about it because I'm certainly not going to ban dozens of people that actually behave.

People get tired of the nonsense, including us, and it's not something we want to promote here.

I really didn't expect a reply from you that fast, Flux, so thanks for that!!! :) But with all respect, how is considered downvoting every single post of someone for no reason other than disliking the person good behaviour?

You don't get to be a troll, whine about getting downvoted, and then blame the mods in the same sentence.

You reap what you sow.

That's so funny comming from you, LOL. And no, I'm not a troll and I don't know why Flux said that, many people here and in Hearthpwn know that's not true, they know me very well. I'm probably one of the most friendly persons you can find on this community, a community I love, but still full of people throwing shit to each other all the time.

Quote From sinti

First of all, the notification system is in its very basic form and we do not go back and manually monitor every single thread we respond to, i know i dont. We wouldnt have time to do anything else.

Second, i agree that ppl shouldnt mass downvote you, or anyone, just cause. That being said, you did bring this on yourself, encouraging it even. You cant honestly be surprised you get what you asked for.

Thirdly, yes, we know you very well. I know you very well. And i dont feed your BS ego if i dont have to, but i guess this post will do just that. I fully understand that ppl like you are part of the community and to some extent are even good for the forum, but only in small doses.

Ever since you came here and your activity increased you started the good old subtle trolling routine you always do. You try to "gently" poke wherever you can and appear as that your intentions are pure and you don't mean nothing by what you write, but in fact you know very well what you are doing. You learned to walk the thin line of being troll-y just enough to start flame wars, but (usually) not enough that it would warrant a warning. You probably got like 1/3rd of warnings you should have gotten on hpwn, but we didnt want to feed your ego and give you even more wood for the fire "oh look, i cant say anything, the mods are banning me for everything hur dur". And then you come out and play a victim, when what you started comes back to bite you. How unexpected.

Obviously, i dont agree with, nor promote, "bullying" in any form of any one member of our community, wheter it might be waranted or not. You are not without a blame in all this and as Flux said, we are not going to ban multiple members just cause they did what you wanted them to. With that said, i would like to ask anyone reading this to not feed Sherman's ego by giving him more downvotes. You stop a troll by ignoring him, that is the best tactic.

Sherman, no one but you has this problem. Why? Because they are not going out of their way to create one. I know that what i wrote will just be ignored or laughed at by you, i expect as much, but my naive self think that maybe calling you out might flip a switch in you or something and have you stop and think about yourself for a second and how you behave and why are these things happening to you over and over. /rant end

Ok, sinti, if my case is really unique and is due to my unconventional behaviour in the forums, I take the responsability. I just don't want it to happen to anyone else, that is all. Why? Because I love the community, I love people in general and I'm not a piece of shit as some believe (and no, I'm not talking about you). Of course, thanks for the reply, and sorry for the riots.

If you complain about downvotes, I downvote. The irony is funny and this is not the kind of content I want to see.
