Turn off downvoting for specific users

[dangeRuss]

I've been having trouble with a handful of users downvoting each other on my nodebb forum. It's been annoying AF, and I'm wondering if there's a way to take away their ability to downvote without turning it off site wide.

@dangeRuss
Just admit that you are annoyed by all the boomzilla's downvoting

This reminds me of the upvotes and downvotes on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ussCHoQttyQ

If you didn't say "my", I'd think I know who you're talking about.

Is that the solution? To custom make the downvotes all show up as @boomzilla?

But first I need a plan to have him sign up on my forum.

I dunno, drop in some module that says

onDownvote:
if (downvoteSenderUser in (probationUsers) && downvoteTargetUser in (probationUsers))
{
   downvoteSenderUser.reputation--;
   response("Fuck off already");
}
else
{
  do normal shit
}

I don't even see the alts. I just see @boomzilla, @boomzilla, @boomzilla...
