Unusual Issue

    So I have had this issue lately;

     

    Someone is systematically downvoting all my saves. Now at first it was just 1 person, but now about two or three accounts have viewed all of mysaves and dropped the ratings. I'm a small user and don't get any views, so it has caused most of my creations to plummit. It's really frustrating as I don't know who these people are.

     

    I have no intentionally offensive saves, and while I may have broken the comment rules once or twice, it has been nothing serious and I've never been disiplined for it. I do not attempt to make enemies or be offensive, although I have anger issues and so may get a little salty from time to time.

     

    I don't know how to directly contact a moderator, so if you are a mod or know how to get one please do something.

     

    Thankyou for your attention and for bringing me this fun sandbox game.

    If you have any suspects on who it could be, PM me and I can check how they've voted. It does appear that all of your saves have two downvotes.

    It's on my TODO to add a method to directly find mass downvoters, and delete the votes. I'm pretty busy this week though.

    Sadly, the two or three people doing this aren't commenting or anything. Maybe give you the option to view who downvoted you saves? Then you could report this trend. Although this has issues, such as maybe some people will give hate to their downvoters.

     

    Anyways, my best saves are still going strong so thats ok. Thanks for the help, and good luck on finding a way around haters.

     This the reason why you can't see who downvoted your saves.It will just increase hate among users.

    Anyway mods can see and find out who is mass voting your saves.

    I'd like to give moderators the ability to see who voted on saves. Normal users will never have that ability.

    Right now, moderators can only see votes by user, not by save. So I can go check a bunch of users and see how they voted, but can't check a specific save. It's kind of annoying for cases like this.
