It sounds to me that shield-it is possible since this is by far not the only account. I've been downvoted more than once and still around what helps is not to read the notifications and post and do what you like most

I would say strange but it's more interesting how frequently power is given to the wrong people. I assume they will solve this since it's their responsibility.

Let me know if the fun contests continues.

BTW instead of an upvote we can transfer SP/Steem and in the early days we had tipu which seems not be accesable to everyone (I informed more thatn once since I still see those upvotes).
