    Downvoting a post can be brigading. Voting posts up or down is indeed the primary thing that brigades do.

    I did not say that this was an example of brigading. I don’t know that. I pointed out that the views you are sharing imply that you would also be against taking action against brigading.

        Sorry you’re having trouble following this. It’s honestly not very complicated. I think if you read the thread from the beginning with an open mind instead of preconceived biases, you will find it easier to follow.

      Then tools should be built against brigading. For example, observing high quantity downvotes per unit time, as compared to the general traffic on the post. Then scrubbing or smoothing the votes as such.
