some users spam fake news links to their own little websites

There's a report button for that.

hard to tell if a mod will care or even look at that, best to let things be organically downvoted, let the users decide what sucks, of course that can be manipulated like in reddit they just push a button to give something a thousand downvotes, but well saidit could fake the insiteful and funny numbers too, I do trust them for now tho.

The problem with downvotes is brigadiering which happens all the time on reddit.

exactly. Its a method to "cancel" people.

I get that but the answer to that isn't to get rid of the concept of downvotes

we look at the reports, and they help us a lot

I won't report them because they aren't doing anything wrong.

I want to downvote them, but not have them removed. They have every right to spam their opinion in my opinion. I welcome it. But I would like to be able to downvote. Now I can only ignore and not reply in any way. So what I did is block the users.
