    Admins should only be looking at who downvotes posts when there is some sort of history of vote-abuse happening. Somebody voicing their opinion with their votes is a perfectly valid use of the upvote/downvote system.

      Exactly. You can’t spam upvites, because the problem with spam is that it buries and dilutes actual, useful, quality content. A user “spamming” upvoting or downvoting isn’t really actionable spam - his up/downvote isn’t drowning out the others.

      The problem is brigading - when multiple people start mass up/downvoting and water down other votes.

      Same goes for spaming votes with multiole accounts.
