@dfox when will the feature of blocking users and blocking spamvotes be introduced. Im getting really annoyed by it every single time 30+ upvotes are given to my rants within a minute...

Its both ruining my overview of notifs and ruining the meaning of upvotes.

Is there a thing like getting shadowbanned from downvoting on devrant or people just running bots that automatically upvote them if they hit negative upvotes?

Whenever I downvote anything thats at 0 upvotes (for ex. even spam that just didnt get noticed, where I cant report it on desktop), it instantly gets nulled, even on the most hidden and old rants.

I dont think theres always a registered user per every single rant out there at any given time that upvotes somebody. (often very deep down the comments)

Almost no one seems to be online today. Most people have smth better to do but I don't.

I have upgraded the Ragnar anti spam service. It will:
- respond to spam in less than a minute like you're used to (a bit slower than before actually. The other system reacted in seconds but I decided that it's a bit overkill / not worth the resources.)
- use around 20 times less resources (instead of 20 bots, it's now one bot (a scout) that checks situation and activate other bots when needed)
- spam less, from now on, only one message gets posted under a downvoted rant. (before this was varying, could be 7 messages under a rant)
- since spammers upvote their down voted rant after a week or so, Ragnar down votes 5 times so it's harder to upvote. (before this was varying)

If someone thinks to see more spam because the service is a bit slower, let me know. It's very easy to adjust it's speed.
