Even though there's probably nothing I can do, I am posting this to inform others and for my own edification.

Is there any process to stop a group downvoting vendetta being waged by galenkp on me?

TLDR version: Last month, galenkp and his cronies decided that I was posting and self-voting too much and upvoting others too little.

This is in spite of the fact that no written platform regulation (or limiting algorithm) exists that limits posts per day; just a specified time delay between posts and the normal HP requirement.

I do not have the massive HP that galenkp posseses and simply can't fathom why my puny self-vote is such a big deal; especially since the platform proclaims that self-voting is allowed.

As for upvoting others, I have several Hive Bloggers being continually auto-upvoted by me everytime they post.

Foolishly, instead of acquiescing to galenkp and curtailing my activity, I did the opposite; posting as much as I could create that distinctly parodied the situation.

Galenkp retaliated by enlisting more of his buddies and the growing downvoting pack commenced to attack all of my posts.

I have been a Hive blogger since its inception and have NEVER DOWNVOTED a fellow Hive blogger.

Azircon stepped into the situation and ordered me to stop posting for a week or have my 60+ reputation downgraded to -3.

Even though I questioned his authority to make such an edict, I was tired of all the drama and complied.

Now, after more than 2 weeks of non-posting, I have returned.

I have not posted more than two posts per day.

I have upvoted the posts of those who upvoted mine, plus my usual auto-vote list is still operating

I have yet to self-vote on any of my current posts.

But the downvoting by galenkp and his buddies continues to plague all my posts; instantly zeroing out whatever meager rewards I receive from other Hive bloggers.

I don't know of any mechanism or official recourse that can stop this persistent malicious and vindictive behavior.

I post on many other platforms and Hive.blog is the only one where I am being intentionally targeted for gang downvoting.

I suspect that galenkp and his tribe would be overjoyed if I just gave up and left the Hive.blog platform altogether.

That's exactly why I'm staying.

Going forward, I'm curious to see what, if anything, results from posting this information.

Surely, I can't be the only one that galenkp has done this to?

Submitted FYI.

May you and yours be well and loving life today.

In Lak'ech, JaiChai
