Throwaway, because it's not about me. 
 
 I know the downvote issue has been discussed before. Some person or some bot is going through and downvoting new posts. I've posted prompts or stories only to see them get multiple early downvotes for what does n't feel like legitimate reasons. It appears systemic and can really impact what prompts and stories make the front page. 
 
 If five upvotes are countered by five downvotes in the first hour, the prompt or PI story is never seen and simply dies in the archive. 
 
 Is this still an issue? Other than encouraging more users to go into the'new' category and upvote good prompts, are there any tools to solve it?
