I made a little tool that checks for the 15 newest rants every 5 minutes, and downvotes them if they contain "algo" or "algorythm".

Clone repo, fill out config.json, and enjoy!

Looks like your rant triggered it :p

@ChappIO yup :)

@algoRythm fight for your rights!

Haha, awesome man. You gave people to much power ;)

I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS DESCRIMINATION

Also, I hope you know you made a system that hates ME, not the Algo. Algo is short for Algorithm, not algorythm, so...

What's the point of this exactly?

But why?

@dreik Not much.

@tilde Because why not.™

Umm... Okay...

@skiilaa Maybe it should have been the other way around you know. Instead of downvoting, upvote rants that have swearing words in them. Those real rants deserves an auto upvote 😊

@AlgoRythm never seen it with an "i", just with an "y"

@magnusi @AlgoRythm Gonna fix, in the next update you can specify words in the config file.

@magnusi @skiilaa Wait, really? I was sincerely unaware.

@AlgoRythm actually, you know what? I am wrong, my mother tongue is a lie

I wonder what dfox thinks about this

I'm definitely not ok with this. I might have upvoted it but missed what it was actually doing.

We don't allow any automated voting and anyone who uses anything that does may have their account deleted.

Also, just to add, even a single misplaced downvote (saying spam/offensive) when it's not generally results in being downvote banned right away and your downvotes no longer count at all, permanently.

@dfox sounds like your brain was doing automated (up)voting without evaluating content 😀

@dfox The repository was removed. Thanks for clarifying.

@skiilaa thanks

@magnusi in this case yes, but in general my upvotes should not be taken as me agreeing with or promoting the content. I frequently upvote good rants about Windows being shitty or Apple being crap but I don't necessarily agree with them. Like most discussions, you shouldn't downvote because you disagree with something and in general I try to upvote quality content, which I may not agree with.

@dfox aye, understood. Anyways, it was to make a pun, not a point 😀

@dfox How can we tell if our downvotes no longer count? I'd like some sort of email or something which says I am no longer a soldier in the fight against reposts.

@AlgoRythm mine doesnt count anymore. if i downvote and click on the rant, the downvote disappears.

@skiilaa Its good that you can know, but I'm quite afraid to test it now.

@skiilaa RIP
