I’m not talking about troll posts, but like innocent posts that always have 1 or 2 downvotes on every comment they post. Is it someone disagreeing or just a downvote troll?

    Yes, it does happen sometimes. Someone will go to a person’s profile page or community’s page and downvote everything. Occasionally they will use multiple accounts. Very occasionally they will even script it.

    We consider it to be spam and we ban them.

    Occasionally someone will use alt accounts to upvote themselves. We treat those the same way.
