My friend has a stalker that is rich and making accounts and tipping and downvoting. She decided to start banning his different accounts, but she wants to know if he tips 25 and she bans/blocks him can he still downvote? She knows it's him as she fights with him from PM's he sends, after she has PM'd him to thank him. It then opens up a line of communication with him that deteriorates rapidly. She had to hide the vote rating counter as he is doing it constantly, and she is of the impression that the downvotes factor into the algorithm that moves her closer to front page along with her viewing numbers? Any help or ideas? Thank You ! Johnm
