I was actually messaged through some different discord servers. Granted all these servers were splinterlands related. And they all had sections to promote your splinterlands posts. So I am not 100% sure if it was someone who was salty due to lack of engagement with their post. Or whatever the case may be. I myself have never had a downvote and I have very rarely seen them occur. That is why in my question is this actually still even a thing that happens. From personnel experience I was treated very well once I started posting. Was event delegated 50 Hive power to get myself started for the first few months. I was also able to meet you and become part of the Gods Unchained community on HIVE. Which I enjoy being a part of very much. The past year has just been rough with my desktop broken and my laptop not able to handle my editing softward to make solid posts. So sadly I have not been able to be as much of a part of the community as I have wanted.

Like I also spoke of this happened to four of my splinterlands guild mates. So perhaps this truly is just a splinterlands issue with the discord servers people are using to try and promote their posts?

But I do love Hive and I am hoping that by the end of the year my desktop PC will be running and I will be back at full blown posts/
