Hey Penguins!
Lately, reports have been going around of people spamming dislikes of other peoples' posts. I'm here to help clear this up.

First off, we should probably start with the question; What is spamming? There are several definitions for the word spam, but the one i'm talking about is not a canned meat product. It's where you repeatedly send the same message/do the same thing to people via internet. E.g: Sending the same E-mail to a whole bunch of people. In this case, spamming is repeatedly disliking a post or posts for no apparent reason. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Second, let's ask the question, "Why do people do this?" People decide to spam with dislikes or with posts to either:
-Gain attention
-Take out anger on the person they are mad with
-Jealousy
-Getting bribed
-To get better rep Unfourtanently, yes. Most people spam dislikes for no apparent reason. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
DO:
Reporting to a Moderator
Asking the spammer(s) to stop
Stay calm
DON'T:
Disliking posts back
Send an angry E-mail, PM, Skype, Etc.. to the person
Swear
Publicly lie about he/she _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Well, Different people have different opinions about this question, due to the fact that there is no official rule. In my opinion, dislike spam would be 6 or more for no reason. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
If in this case, you realize that YOU are the spammer, I suggest you do the following:
Send a PM/E-mail to the user(s) saying sorry.
Like the same amount of posts to even out the rep. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
If the same suspected user does spams on different accounts, you should tell Cyberwolf or another Mod.

I certainly hope this helps. If you have any other questions, PM me and I will post them!

I agree with this post.
But, another reason is, If sombody is on a rude post spree, users dislike it, so if that person made 4 bad posts, she would have 4 dislikes from 1 person.

True. But it's different if you actually do it for a legitimate reason, compared to just spamming dislikes for no reasons.
