      @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.

                      @leocg My account from 5 years ago got blocked due to some spammers' attacks. Will we have to face such problems in Opera now? I want an answer.

                        @jannab21 And who are you asking it of - the spammers? As we know nothing about you, there is nothing we can say.

                          I really hope you get the issue with the Temu spammers solved. It's incredibly annoying.

                            @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.

                                @sgunhouse Thank you so much for your upvote. I don't respond over there, because that would give the spammer the possibility to downvote me again.
