Just a suggestion, bad posts get reported or removed, good faith posts get responses.
The paranoria/low effort trolling its creating is having a detrimental effect on discussion, better to just remove the ability for low effort trolls to effect conversation.
Sometimes they brigade and it turns out to be the opposite. You can usually tell when they did it too, because the upvote/downvote ratio will be normal on comments after the brigade and only effect those before it.
I said usually, the bot brigades don’t happen that often.
