People were complaining about the down votes being used unfairly and that bots were being used.

I don't want bots chewing up resources or wasting peoples time so I disabled them.

Were they right though? Were bots being used?

I do not know, but I saw a lot of unusual traffic hit the server.

Maybe all my c/theDonald post will finally stop starting out with -12 vote scores

I'm trying to figure out what happened as well... It would be worrying if they've been turned off without any user notification or anything.

Yeah I'm starting to think that's what happened

I have enabled down votes again.

Having them disabled did not seem to make a difference to the server.
