RE: Everything Keeps Changing About The Skripal Narrative Except "Russia Definitely Did It"
These people are bad actors which have been consistently suppressing opinion with downvotes.

They certainly look to be that, don't they?
Scary situation here, actually. Might not make it through 2018.
That is the whole point of what they are trying to achieve. They are abusing the flagging system of 'goodwill' to silence (new users especially) opposing opinions, which will eventually drive them away from the platform. Not only that, but they are scamming the system in other ways to grow their accounts. It's just going to turn into another facebook where only mainstream views are allowed. If people don't kick up a huge stink about this NOW, then it will continue forever. Problem is that the stealth sniper tactics they employ with their smaller accounts does not hurt or hinder the users with bigger reputations. They can take the hit like its a little annoying mosquito. The constant downvoting of smaller users slows down the growth of accounts, because it hurts the reputation rating, which in turn affects the earning potential. Organised networks of sockpuppet accounts like this are going to destroy the platform.
