<![CDATA[Unjust Downvotes Leading to Approval Delays, Need a Fair Resolution]]>Who is consistently downvoting reputations without any valid reason? This issue is making it difficult to post, as repeated approvals are required. I have analyzed the pattern, and I'm not the only one facing this—many others are experiencing the same problem. Once a post is approved, the reputation drops into the negative, causing continuous approval delays.
Is there any solution to prevent this unfair downvoting system?

I don't respond over there, because that would give the spammer the possibility to downvote me again.

I asked for help and got upvotes but this guy gave me a downvote again, so I fell to zero again.

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.

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.

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.

(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.)

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.

Mind you, one has already posted here., so you know him already.
