@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.

Notifications about upvotes and downvotes can also influence people.
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
On the other hand, upvoting is an easy way to say "thank you" or "I agree" without writing an extra post just for that...

Associates will swiftly find themselves with an aggressive neoplasm no amount of bioen trickery can touch. Salud.

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.
