Admins, is it safe to assume you can see who upvotes/downvotes posts? If so, why is nothing being done about whoever keeps downvoting every single post in the majority of threads on the main boards?

It is defeating the purpose of the function

So you think someone is taking time out of their day to downvote almost all new threads on every board?

Not every board I said the main ones. And yes I do. Go pick a thread that has some traffic and every single post will be downvoted

Based on my experience yesterday, your position on this will not be popular. However, I concur nonetheless.

Exactly. Some get butthurt I guess when they use it to measure their worth to the board.

THIS. The function accomplishes nothing, yet people get so bent out of shape when their post(s) get downvoted

Who cares? They only mean something if you assign them meaning.

I don't pay attention to the votes because it requires an extra click on mobile. However, I like posting in the vote related threads, and I do like letting someone know when I've downvoted them because it requires extra effort to make that downvote.

Im not crying about anything. I just question why someone would care enough to downvote every post in a thread.

Per your OP, you wanted the admins to take action against the "serial downvoter."

Never said about anything against the person. shite they could get rid of the entire function all-together for all I care.

They are so anal about a lot of things on this board such as only posting emoticons, IM's, and derailing threads. Wondered why this wasnt one of them.
