Let's solve the mystery, shall we?
First of all, I was muted because of racism. Against Turks or Americans, not sure, you have to ask person who handed that mute. High possibility that person is our new community manager or whatever, Nashringa.
Because I was muted and wasn't able to post (duh), had to do something while waiting mid rounds. That is why I started downvoting selected people, not based on content of their posts but rather their nicks (because during previous years I've came to conclusion they mostly post crap so wouldn't bother reading it anyway). It was a nifty way of spending time while waiting for respawn.
I've actually planned to revert the habit to upvoting everything, because downvoting became boring. But before I was about to get that into action I've noticed something interesting. Certain developer (doubt that human resources schmuck like Nashringa has the necessary technical skills to do it) decided to remove downvotes. Not sure who he may be, but I think we all have a hunch who that could be
That would be all, hopefully short enough for you to keep your mind from wandering somewhere else. Have a nice day.
