There is a poster who posts in the forum a lot who never replies to your posts so you assume she doesn’t like them- and she “kicks” other posts which makes you feel like she wants your posts to go down the page.

I gently say perhaps you are thinking and caring too much about this. It’s quite possible that poster doesn’t even think about you/your posts. It’s also possible she doesn’t care for you or your posts but so what? A saying I live by is “Other people’s opinions of me are none of my business” Not everyone is going to like you, and that’s okay!

One person “kicking” other posts is not going to net a statistical difference in your post “popularity”. Honestly though, does it really matter that much? It’s all fake social constructs.

If you feel agitated when you see her posts- put her on ignore. It’s unreasonable though to expect admin here to actually step in when no actual rule violation has occurred.
