Maybe I'll start checking out downzaps regularly, just to see how bad this is. 

I had no idea.

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.

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.

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