All new posts downvoted to 0
320 2017-04-28 by MartnThaKing
The original post was deleted due to rule 12, so I figured I'd take screenshots and repost.
They are in reverse order, so the top image is the end of when downvoted started. Since taking those screenshots all new posts have been downvoted too.
There have been 2 posts that were not downvoted in this time period, both related to Pizzagate.

Never seen anything like it. Posted the thread on Voat, CONSTANTLY deleted over and over without explanation.

Posted it here, and now the shills are going absolutely insane and downvoting everything.
It's really something.
n/a MartnThaKing 2017-04-28
That's one of the only posts to go positive in this time period actually, +42 at that.

That makes me think they found something.

So what's the connection with Mellow Mushroom? Those hipster hangouts are everywhere. Just built a new one in my hometown... in an abandoned Coca Cola bottling plant.

The 3 pages you linked two are all positive upvotes so A) you were lying B) Your shameful attempt to get traffic to your posts worked and now you have your precious upvotes.
n/a MartnThaKing 2017-04-28
Their upvotes didn't come from this post, you can see in the screenshots these are the only posts to have avoided the downvotes (those 2 Pizzagate posts and the 2 posts talking about the downvotes).
n/a vigorous 2017-04-28
Thanks. This is a public service. My information is sub mods do not control vote manipulation, Reddit admin does that. It takes a lot of effort and patience to curb vote manipulation and your efforts do not pay off 100% of the time. It's like the road you travel which you know could use more speed traps but doesn't get 'em.

This has been happening for awhile, I've noticed that sometimes I'll post in an old thread and find all the new comments at 0 or -1
n/a Nomandate 2017-04-28
Hell hounds on your tail. I regularly dump my user IDs because eventually they (sociopaths) will follow you around and downvote / reply to everything you post.
This account is about due... but I like my name, doh...

Yep. I've pissed off a few people and still get followed.
One guy still follows me around and PMs because I commented over a year ago saying if I was on that Korean Ferry that sank I wouldn't listen to the captain and I would get the hell off. For some reason he was obsessed with telling me that I should stay on and listen to the captain. It's creepy.

Where... where do we go?
n/a bradok 2017-04-28
Off of Reddit and into real life, they can't stop the momentum of the truth, which is why they are now blatantly seeking to destroy the forums in which it is propagated. Spread the word to your family and friends and don't forget that most of the shilling we see on reddit is just that...manufactured consensus to make us believe that we are in the minority.
n/a Nomandate 2017-04-28
"We" you mean trump tards? Because if so... that's no conspiracy, lol.

This never happens on any other sub ever. I mean it just doesn't you know. This is completely new to reddit and posts on new are never just down voted.
It must be the work of the juice!!!! /s

n/a quantumcipher 2017-04-28
This has been going on for some time now, and exactly how quality content is prevented from reaching the front page. For content to be visible, it has to attain more upvotes from users than other subs to compensate for the burying of content. It's unfortunate, yet hardly surprising.
n/a plato_thyself 2017-04-28
I have also noticed this phenomenon for at least a few years, for exactly the reason you mention.
n/a radiofreeamerica 2017-04-28
This. It also effects comments too on various subs. Either they target new posts and comments on specific subs (they definitely do) or they are logging users and down voting based on acct/ip (looks like they do that too).
I'm just a simple redditor. I go have maybe 10 subs, mostly conspiracy or video game related. Sorta irks me a bit because I don't post or comment often, only when I have something to offer. It is blatant suppression of critical thought. I even had one recent post shadowbanned in r/askthe_donald. I simply asked where voters stand on the mountains of evidence that Kushner has been financed by Soros, provided a few links, kept it eloquent, polite, and short. Hmm, no bites? I'm seriously curious... so I log out check the sub... it's not there. Yet when I log back in, it's there and not marked deleted. That could just be mods though not wanting redpills in their Q&A. Still though, the fuckery is astounding.

Here's a good video on astroturf if you're not already familiar with this concept.
n/a radiofreeamerica 2017-04-28
Good video. Yeah, I was certainly aware of the manipulation. What really grinds my gears is that much of propaganda and psywar is easily noticed and understood by myself, but it seems like everyone else either doesn't see it, seem to care, or automatically thinks you're nuts. The latter is fine, I get it... they've bought into the programming. The first, I think can be summarily viewed as these people are just stupid. It's the middle block that confuses me. I don't see any room for neutrality when forming an opinion on the fact that you are being deceived or enslaved.
n/a plato_thyself 2017-04-28
Have compassion for others, we're all at different parts along the journey.
n/a radiofreeamerica 2017-04-28
Always in public, never in private. Realists must accept reality. However, it is somewhat of a moral obligation to society to portray positive behavior in public. Our feelings shouldn't dictate behavior. In a face to face discussion I would never decry others to be stupid. However, that doesn't change the fact 3/4 of the population are in-fact, not as smart as the remaining quarter.

n/a felixlivesagain 2017-04-28
it happens in lots of subreddits it is a strategy to get your content to the top. just have your group spam downvote everything that isn't you. I usually go to new in my favorite subs. I recommend everyone who subscribes to a sub to browse all. you get to help steer the sub in the direction you want. upvote what you consider good content downvote what you think is shit posts.

n/a quantumcipher 2017-04-28
Sorry to hear. It happens to pretty much everyone who posts in this sub now. I've found it's better to simply delete and repost if necessary. Maybe give it a few hours, or days, and try to make sure it hasn't already been posted by another user since.

this sub has been hit hard lately with shareblue shills
its the only sub left on here that is truly bipartisan so it was only a matter of time
n/a bradok 2017-04-28
They were going to be coming for r/conspiracy as soon as the r/pizzagate and r/politics refugees started flowing in around the election.
n/a PM_ME_YOUR_DICKS_GRL 2017-04-28
lmfao you're joking right?
Most of the brigading is clearly from /r/t_d. How often does a post critical of Trump break the 100's?
n/a seeking101 2017-04-28
ever stop to think that maybe it's because most people dont hate trump and all the negative shit you hear about him is from a vocal minority?
n/a PM_ME_YOUR_DICKS_GRL 2017-04-28
BUT MUH SHAREBLUE!!
n/a Nomandate 2017-04-28
No. People who live and go outside every day into the real world can see the truth for Themselves. He's an international joke. He's a schoolyard joke.
n/a itsjeremyson 2017-04-28
Correction. He's flipped on a lot of things he promised. So most people do not like him anymore.
Sadly, the outcome of this election proves to me that kayne 2020 could be a thing.
n/a seeking101 2017-04-28
yea thats not actually true though, yes there are people unhappy but there are more people willing to vote for him now than during the election
n/a Captain_____Obvious_ 2017-04-28
His approval rating was underwater from day one, and now even the people who voted for him are turning on him because he is not keeping many of his goofy promises (wall-building, ISIS shit-bombing, her uplocking, obamacare repealing, swamp-draining, etc).

People that supported Trump still support him.... WOW! The poll was done only of Trump Voters.
n/a seeking101 2017-04-28
durr durr
the guy said people who originally supported him no longer do so of course a link proving the people who originally supported him still do would be the proper reply
n/a The_Pyle 2017-04-28
And the poll you link show that his support is down among those that voted for him.
n/a mygfishot 2017-04-28
Seriously. Notice your at -4? ShareBlue at it again
n/a seeking101 2017-04-28
i had plus 15 at one point and then it got downvoted to the negative, shot back up to around 2 recently actually and now back in the negative
they're working OT tonight

n/a skatalon2 2017-04-28
Can somebody explain this? I went to new and just started upvoting everything. turns out, only certain posts counter will go up if you upvote them. others stay at 0 even if the are upvoted.

Vote fuzzing.
Indiscriminate voting in either direction in X amount of time will not behave the way you want it to. That's how reddit works.
n/a The_Pyle 2017-04-28
It helps prevent people from seeing trends immediately and voting the same way.
n/a GravyWagon 2017-04-28
I downvoted your Jordan Maxwell (because he is a complete idiot) post and that took it from 1 - 0
n/a Nomandate 2017-04-28
And I downvote all the "guh derp sharia blue shillary derrrr..." posts I see (with a vengence...) because... y'all can be idiots.
n/a mygfishot 2017-04-28
Only Hillary/ShareBlue shills are idiots

Except this one ;)
n/a MartnThaKing 2017-04-28
It's weird that this and the other post talking about the downvotes managed to get avoid the downvotes, or maybe they were just very strongly upvoted, idk.
n/a Nomandate 2017-04-28
Pizzagate gets downvoted to hell because it's fucking retarded. Unless there is new information stop wasting people's time. It makes conspiracy folks look like morons when this is associated with things that may have actually happened. Its embarrassing.
n/a Big_smo_ke 2017-04-28
Yes all the damning Instagram pics are retarded, sure
n/a MartnThaKing 2017-04-28
The only posts that had any upvotes were 2 Pizzagate posts
n/a Lezzles 2017-04-28

https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/683iau/wireless_power_transfer_to_millimetersized/ Am I not understanding this sub? I literally post an article about prototyping wirelessly powered electronics that can be implanted in peoples body and I get down votes?
I think link goes to a table, but that is because of how Nature handles stuff and I had opened a table when I decided to submit it.
n/a rocktogether 2017-04-28
You did not blame it on Hillary.
n/a Aelinsaar 2017-04-28
This happens in a lot of subs when people think they can get an edge on their own submissions by downvoting other submissions.
Or yeah... 8th dimension paedo lizards, whichever you find easier to swallow...
n/a Fiddling_Jesus 2017-04-28
This has happened for a while now, and it happens in most subs. In most cases it's just people wanting to make sure their post gets up top, so they and their sock puppet accounts downvote everything else while upvoting theirs. It's also a tactic utilized by companies for "organic advertising ".
I wouldn't doubt that there are other people wanting to suppress certain information from getting out.
n/a Rutherford82 2017-04-28
I've tried to submit posts several times that mysteriously won't go through, but I've never had a comment not be added.

While not required, you are requested to use the NP (No Participation) domain of reddit when crossposting. This helps to protect both your account, and the accounts of other users, from administrative shadowbans. The NP domain can be accessed by replacing the "www" in your reddit link with "np".

Why don't r/conspiracy just change the way people vote? I see on other subs that you can only vote UP if you like it. There is no down vote because it's been removed by the owner mod.
This would solve the problem?
n/a PM_ME_YOUR_DICKS_GRL 2017-04-28
Unfortunately, not really. That's not actually a Reddit feature and just uses CSS tricks to perform like that.
It can be easily disabled using something like Reddit Enhancement Suite that allows you to disable subreddit styles.

n/a GlipGlopSuperMop 2017-04-28
We're doing well it seems - cracking the thick shell of them - I'm wondering - given reddit's most likely infiltrated through the gills - if there's a better place one of the mods can post at the top for a safer - more open minded - less shilled out place for this info to go - here - it's like a game of duck hunter to them - we sometimes have to flood the shit out of it so some can get away - aka above 50 upvotes
n/a CurveGoblin 2017-04-28
Always keep in mind that this website is open forum. Could just be someone emotional who downvotes things when they get butthurt from reading them. Or it's the CIA. either way.
