Have you tried messaging them?
While lemmy is still small I think its worth asking them what's up. Is there a timeout/suspension function? Suspend their account for 30 days.
It’s not considered powertripping as that is a form of vote manipulation.
Yep, they get banned. End of story. Though I'd be willing to unban them if they appealed and explained their behavior. Or if there was a mistake on my end, obviously
If it's only downvotes, then a ban is justified.
I'd say just ban them. Doesn't look like a healthy relationship for either side. Worst thing that can happen is they complain and you get to know the reason for their behaviour... And if they're under the impression it will get rid of the posts, banning them will accomplish that, so win-win.
If they only downvote everything, I think they deserve a ban.
