I'm confused.

    So, every time I make a post, or save, it almost INSANTLY gets downvoted by someone. It's happened yesterday, and the mass downvoting is still continuing. Although I can't do anything about it, I just want it to stop.

    Step 1) Stop caring about votes, they mean nothing.

    Step 2) See step 1.

    We were going to respond to you about this earlier, but you deleted the save or something

    Basically, we think the reason you get so many downvotes is because you mention votes on many saves / comments. People don't like when authors complain about downvotes, or complain about why nobody is viewing / commenting / voting. They just want to see saves, and some relevant info / description from the author, but not complaints about votes. It makes it sound like you are whining over people not liking your stuff, and exaggerating how many downvotes you get.

    I would start by removing all references to voting on your saves. We already disabled one of your saves (that we've previously left many comments on) that was complaining about this. We can also delete any comments you have referencing votes, so you can start "clean". After this, perhaps the downvotes will stop.

    The damage to your reputation could have already happened, I can't fix that. In the future though, do not mention or complain about votes anywhere or in any save. If there is a serious problem though, use a report / a PM to a moderator.

     As much as I like the sentiment, the unfortunate truth is that seeing downvotes can discourage people from clicking on a save. That said, publishing only good for either inflating your ego, or sharing a cool creation- if it's the former, then that's not what it should be for anyways, and if it's the latter, then it's the community missing out on your creation, you don't really lose much.

     Just keep making things you think are good, and try not to lose motivation. If a save gets downvoted, ask yourself what could be improved. If you honestly can't think of anything, then it's probably just trolls, and you should try to just move on with your life and not let them get to you.
