We have a person systematically abusing the voting mechanisms of this website. Old users are annoyed. New users are driven away. There are whole threads created by people complaining about this abuse, but without moderator powers, there is nothing we can do. So we just complain endlessly and become more and more frustrated.
Unless this problem is solved by someone responsible, I promise I will not write here a single comment or article, until August 31st 2014, as an expression of solidarity with the victims of mass downvoting, and disagreement with the inaction of moderators. (Meetup announcements are an exception to this.)
Moderators, please wake up and start protecting this community!

This is already going on for months.
