Stacker Sports has a great community of stackers that are very active and engaged.

I think this is what we need to focus on. Just enjoying sports and the rest will eventually come. I enjoy everything that happens in the territory. @Undisciplined and you do a great job with the podcast, contests, posts and supporting everyone in the territory. I have been taking part in sports that I have never been interested in and I have found that I like them too. It's a great place to share opinions and enjoy others' comments.

What I really don't get is about downzapping. If I don't like a post, no zaps. If I like, zap! Can't understand the sense of punishment with the downzapping.

I think downzapping has value in some instances but to downzap just because you don’t like a certain topic, territory of stacker is silly. Just mute them.

I think downzapping should be reserved for malicious posts like spam, plagiarism, ai slop, etc.

However, it is just a tool and everyone gets to choose how they want to use it.

Yes, I understand that it could be a useful tool for the cases you mention though it may be used just to harm someone else. It must be really annoying to keep downzapping posts just for the sake of harming.
