I noticed the same shit early on. Really makes one wish there were other legit free speech sites. The only person I've downvoted is the egomaniac of an admin. With the back to back server moves last month it pretty much proves your statement. One admin posted the server was moving, the other stated some nonsense about updates or a reset or something. I've gotten to the point I mostly just log in for a quick update to the news anymore. No sense in posting and giving them any other info. I rarely even upvote any more either.
