This does seem lazy. A genuine down vote is a legitimate action. A shill account that does nothing but spam down votes is not. Obvious shill down voters should be outright banned, but saying people can't hit a button that signifies their disagreement is another issue. Had VOAT not been anonymous for the most part a blocking function would have helped with the shills, but from what I understand that's frowned upon here as well.
So let me get this straight:
Don't disagree with someone. Don't hit a dislike button on shit posts, obvious shillery, or just outright stupidity.
If you are being harassed, or you are just tired of constantly seeing the same stupid garbage from the same stupid person, don't block, just log off and hope the next time you log in they aren't around?
I'm not here to bust the mods balls, I don't want your job, fuck policing any social media site, I don't envy you, BUT, cmon man.
Bergbook and twatter suck extra hard because rather than just blocking a mf'er and going on with your day you have to fight against the fucking "I'm reporting this" brigade.
