    It’s not spam if the user only downvotes. They may not think anything is worth an upvote but do see lots that they think are downvotes

      I agree. That’s why it should take into account time between downvotes. Although I will add that I think the particular usertype you’re hypothesising is pretty rare.

        Not really, but sure. Again if people care about downvotes that much it should just not be an option instead of used as a way to purge

          It’s not used as a way to purge. I think downvotes can be useful, but I would still ban spam downvoters from my communities (not the instance).
