[Meta] There seems to be a downvoting bot around here. Every thread and every single comment has at least one downvote. Is there any way to fix this? (sh.itjust.works)

Yeah, I really don't get why somebody really cares enough about the traffic maybe to even set up a bot

here really doesn't make sense. Unless it was like a dog photo or something. but also, it could just be a testing ground for a bot that's going to get used for a... self-evident motive.

Pretty sure the mods (and definitely admin) can see whose downvoting what.

That testing ground really does make sense.

Edit: Also, funnily enough my testing of the keyword bot seems to have stopped downvotes of comments in the thread (but not the post itself)
