A Serious Post About Downvote Bombs · 10:25pm Apr 17th, 2016
Okay, so let's just chill with the drama. I'm going to make this a serious post that's a bit more productive than the last one, so hear me out.
Like I said before, I'm avoiding several groups and others because of their behavior and admins, but this is slightly ridiculous.
Now before I drop the name of the user I'm going to be talking out, I'd like to tell you not to hate on him or to tell him off. This is just to use as evidence of further assumptions made by the user. I can understand where the user is coming from in terms of what has happened, but honestly, they should've not assumed that it was me. I am not that type of guy to go downvoting people after having a little Internet fist fight with them. So please, do not go downvoting his fics or whatever, capiche?
So, the user, seye eniugnas and I have had a bit of a tussle. I'm not going to go into details about this because it is not relevant to this blog post, but let's talk about what happened after the tussle. So, if you look my at stories, you may see that they downvoted a bit. Yeah, you know where this is going based on the title. I can assume this because of this blog:
This is why we can't have nice things.
And just if he takes it down, here's a gyazo of it:
But here's the thing, I am also very good at giving support on my side of it. Here's evidence that I didn't downvote your fics:

https://gyazo.com/235f37c2b3f860927088f6b5261c8c9c
So yeah, no downvotes on any of your nine fics by me, man. Now I have to assume that you downvoted mine (and maybe other users in your group too) unless you prove otherwise. So please, prove to me that you didn't downvote them.
Sorry guys and gals, but I don't like being harassed like this. I'm done with this type of drama guys and gals.
Now fans, friends, fellow meme droppers and shitposters, know this: drama is drama, so don't add downvotes to the equation, otherwise it'll never get solved.
And that's how you fail math.
Thank you.

EDIT: I'd also like to see if No Heresy didn't downvote my fics. His or hers behavior in that thread of ours definitely points in the same direction as you.
I don't even know anymore.

I don't know either!
3877103 There's been some serious drama lately.
I'm so confused.
Just add politics and your journey to the Dark Side will be complete!
3877115
Oh? So that's how I get horsefame on this site?
Shit. Gotta start doing that now.
3877112
Basically, Internet drama at its finest.
3877109
Tell me about it.
3877122 What happened to 'ignore them, it will be less of an headache' advice i gave you?
3877129
I already got the headache in the first place.
Plus, this is just because I'm curious. It might not be them, but it could be, so I want to settle the score for the last time. If they did downvote it, then there's no contest here.
Just another day on fimfiction

And another day of headaches and nostalgia.
Ah, drama! I love drama! One Life to Live was one of my favorite shows before it got cancelled.
Sadly, I don't think this is that kind of drama. :(
3877146
No, this drama is impossible to cancel. But hey, at least the drama you watched was enjoyable!
Oh boy, his fics are getting downvoted anyway by other people too. Well, shit.
Even when I tell people not to, they do it anyway. :c
You don't really need to share this. The mods can tell whether or not you did something like what you're being accused of, so you're in no danger.
Ignore the hay-eaters!

Actually, I have been told before by the mods that they have problems tracking downvote bombers, so I don't think that's possible. :c
I hope everything cools down for you.
The uptoke/downswag mechanism should be decommissioned.
I have maintained this position for a while. It is no longer a rating system; just a weapon to be used for public shaming sessions.
Edit: It's not like this is Reddit.
Are we really at this point now? Shit, i'm really starting to think I should've taken that opportunity to leave Fimfiction before I had any serious contact with it back in 2012. A big reason I came to Fimfiction is because there wasn't that insane flood of Twitter drama and bullshit everywhere AND it came with the added bonus of ponies.
Soaring's been bringing up a lot of that drama in these blogs because it has been affecting both him and other members of the community, and I know internet drama is drama, but really guys? Way to show how mature a lot of us are here. Really boosting the already shit demographic people have been looking at us with. No wonder people saw fit to leave this website.
tldr; stop turning Fimfic into twumblr
