If heavily downvoted users are disruptive to a subreddit ban them.
oWo. Do you feel this is the reason you got banned from ModSupport? Because I can't for the life of me entertain banning someone for getting downapples.
Breaking rules yes, unpopular opinion nope.

I honestly have no idea why I got banned from r/ModSupport and no information was forthcoming in my ban message other than to say appeals would be ignored.
I’m not suggesting that you should ban users for low karma I’m saying that low karma users are already punished.
They don’t need further punishment unless they are doing things that are unwelcome to the sub as determined by the mods (breaking the rules as you say) In this case a ban is more appropriate than a blanket censorship on all those with negative karma.
Not all heavily downvoted users are disruptive to a subreddit, and they shouldn’t be punished en masse moreso than they already are.
