    Just curious on what makes it “abuse” over just being posts people don’t like?

    Some instances have downvotes turned off entirely

    Some communities ban you just for a downvote

    edit a brief scroll of your post history, the only posts with semi equal up and down votes seem appropriate - such as posting manga to skyrim and asking for a mod

      I wasn’t posting manga to skyrim, I was just asking for mod outfit suggestions to match the outfit in the manga and the context provided in the post is pretty obvious that I wasn’t just posting manga to skyrim mods

      and I don’t know what you mean by asking for a mod because I don’t recall asking for a mod

      And may I ask why you decided to go through my post history because it has nothing to do with this post

        I assumed you felt you were having problems with your posts being downvoted regularly. Besides, your profile is completely public. Its fair game.

        What can be done about downvote brigades

        Assumption: you feel your posts are being brigaded. You provided zero other context.

        You absolutely did ask for a mod. Literally in the title of your post

        outfit mod is a mod. Not sure why you’re claiming an outfit mod isn’t a mod

        and before you blame me. I have not voted on your posts or comments.

        edit

        You didn’t even answer the question I asked on whether the downvotes are “valid” because people dont want the posts

          I thought you where talking about mods as in moderators and not modifications
