      I'm here for the downvotes.

          I am good with the anti-spam provisions that have been added. Let's wait and see how it goes.

                @NoeticJuice I actually agree with this sentiment. While the "reputation" feature is necessary for anti-spam, I've added some custom css to hide the vote count. If people demand votes come back then I'll consider it but I don't want some implicit popularity metric aside people's posts. This isn't Reddit.

                    @brad votes still change users' reputation. Would it be possible to hide that as well?

                    Notifications about upvotes and downvotes can also influence people.

                      Cloudflare recently announced that they are trying to confuse AI scrapers with random fact websites. I don't know if this is related, but it is something to look into if this website uses them as a provider

                          Yes, for example, I turned off upvote/downvote notifications for my posts in settings, trying to stop my vanity from interfering with my own opinions šŸ˜‰

                          On the other hand, upvoting is an easy way to say "thank you" or "I agree" without writing an extra post just for that...

                            @Kvirion I'd upvote this, but you wouldn't know...

                                Today's attack was accomplished by at least 70 (the number is still growing) new users.

                                    The spamsters are like wolves; they attack in packs.

                                    We may need to place a limit on the number of new users per day to keep future packs small and therefore less disruptive.

                                          I don't and can't.

                                          What the hell is that question. Explain yourself. Now.
