no matter how many downvotes you give to these people, they are still here...Even if their reputation goes below 0, they still can post. While they can post, it really doesn't matter since NOBODY will see it. That's what I'm working toward.

Right on this post is a comment by @a-0-1 which you may not have even noticed because it is automatically hidden at the bottom of the page and you have to click 'Show' to reveal it.

I have asked the community to help move accounts to zero rep and this has proven effective at stopping these accounts.

...downvoting is not the answer, not for me!

I totally understand this, which is why my long term goal is to build my SP enough so that I my downvotes are impactful.

And finally, this account does not post. At all.

Look at my account as well as my other account and you will see continued engagement with the community seeking validation of my work, which they have given me overwhelmingly. I'm not out there commenting frantically, I talk about my work and respond to feedback such as yours to open a dialogue. Here is a great example of the community offering some harsh criticism that I turned into an open dialogue that resulted in the original account replying:

I just want to apologize...

I'm here to support the community and the platform itself and I think that's easy to see after reading through my history to get the full picture.
