I would like to share a genuine concern regarding the current downvoting system. Some users are unfairly downvoting others without valid reasons, which is negatively impacting genuine users. Due to this, many users are struggling to post as their reputation keeps decreasing, leading to constant approval requirements.
To improve the experience for everyone, I suggest implementing a system where,
Downvotes require a valid reason or verification.
A limit is placed on how frequently a user can downvote others.
New users get some initial protection from unjust downvotes.
This will help maintain a fair and supportive community while preventing spammers from misusing the system. I hope this suggestion is considered for the betterment of all users.

@DevShukla I completely agree with you; this is how it should be. But please fix my ID so that I can post without any issues.

RE: Unjust Downvotes Leading to Approval Delays, Need a Fair ResolutionFeedback for the Forums
@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 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.

@DevShukla I don’t want any upvotes, but my ID should at least remain stable so that I don’t have to keep seeking approval repeatedly. I don’t need my reputation to increase, but my account—and the accounts of others facing this issue—should not be affected unfairly. That’s all I want, nothing more.

@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 I only gave a suggestion to stop spam, but the spammers downvoted my own account instead. Their actions have crossed all limits! At this rate, they will keep troubling everyone. I request that my account be restored.
