      Yes, they can. But that’s quite a lot of permanent work. Lots of people interact with the content here without even looking where it is.

      I have only seen the “bad” unaligned communities doing that. The ones that actually have interesting stuff seem to just live with the votes.

        I don’t mean ban every downvoter, but ban repeat downvoters. People who are clearly downvoting most things posted without any pattern.
