Filters are an interesting way of taking the edge off the extremes of money as the moderator.

I know about subscribing to a particular user.

But what I was thinking of is this:
User JohnDoe creates a "filter" called IgnoreDownzappedForPolitics. This filter says - "ignore downzaps by XXX, YYY, ZZZ"

Then instead of subscribing to a user, I subscribe to that user's filter.

Something like that, anyway. Otherwise money can totally bury a post.

This would obviously be a new feature in Stacker News.

You can subscribe to a user and get a notification every time they post (or comment if you subscribe to their comments) -- regardless of whether they are being downzapped.

Go to the user's profile, click the three dots right of their username and select subscribe.

Are political posts (Iran war, Israel) actively downzapped on Stacker News?
