@Holmesreign3182 if you get enough upvotes to counteract the downvotes, you'll be able to post normally. At the moment you should be fine.

@sgunhouse But this is exactly what the spammers are preventing from happening. They keep coming back and downvoting repeatedly. My ID gets approved, and this has happened three times already, but they keep downvoting and ruining it again.

@sgunhouse I know, but the spammers are not even letting my account stay fixed. You had fixed it before, but look, they have ruined it again. How long will this keep happening? Do you know who these people are?

@Holmesreign3182 You yourself can see, if you wish. Find the post(s) that have been downvoted and click on the vote total to see.
Mind you, one has already posted here., so you know him already.

@sgunhouse I have no idea who it is because there is no notification for this. But I want you to pay attention to those who are doing such things and ruining others' IDs. At the very least, you should be able to fix the accounts of those affected.

@sumer2sher You only have 3 posts, it is easy enough to look at each of them and see which have downvotes.. (Hint: if you click on your own name or avatar it will take you to your forum profile, and your posts are listed there. Unfortunately you do need to click through to the original threads to see the vote totals, but as I said right now it is only 3.)

@sgunhouse Yes, I have checked. My second post is currently under attack by spammers. Because of this, my posts require approval, and I am unable to post directly.

@sgunhouse If you can fix my ID, please do so. This is my only request, nothing more. At the very least, I should be able to post without issues.

@sgunhouse Now it's asking for approval before every post, and I can't post at the exact time. What should I do?
Maybe I will have to leave Opera. -

@sgunhouse I have been patient for so many days, hoping that it would get fixed, but it’s still not getting resolved. I have also been negatively affected for no reason. Is there any issue with my posts that people don’t like? I am ready to delete them, but please don’t mess up my account. And please help me fix it.

@Holmesreign3182 Why do you care that much? You joined about 4 days ago, opened a topic asking for help to solve a problem with broken shortcuts and this one to complain about the downvotes and that was all.
I don't remember have seen you trying to help people, trying to be useful. Your only concerning is about not being able to post without having to get approval.
Let's face the facts, that's something very suspicious on your part.
And one interesting thing is that your IP addresses matches some of the ones used by the Temu spammers that have been attacking the forum recently. May just be a coincidence, but for precautions, I think it's better to just ban you.

@Himmelsheriff They don't understand, 99% of the people here don't want to see their trash.
One of the best strategies I've seen so far - if you come across actual spam (and not just something you consider as a "spammy profile"), downvote it. When their reputation drops their future posts will get queued for moderation and we can clean up the mess without it causing too much trouble in the forums. Not that I expect them to pay attention to the fact everyone doesn't want them, but if it is too much trouble maybe they'll go elsewhere.

@sgunhouse I would like to downvote but there's some guy in this thread who's permanently downvoting me for no reason.
https://forums.opera.com/topic/82469/opera-adds-discord-slack-and-bluesky-to-browser-s-sidebar-after-community-requests/2?_=1740640446496
I asked for help and got upvotes but this guy gave me a downvote again, so I fell to zero again.
