EDIT:Correction - it's every single post and comment they make
Check it out for yourselves. I can't post a screen shot because I'm too lazy to figure out how to get a shot that includes the mouse-hover text.
I think it's very unlikely to be 12 separate users who always dislike u/Corporis 's posts at around about the same time, lol. So it's bots or alts I guess, unless 12 different users want to weigh in and tell me I'm wrong. The most downvotes other users generally have in hot is 2-3. What do users think about this?
If this post turns nasty I'll be deleting it, just so you know.
EDIT: so as expected, it happened to this post too, and the comments have been vote manipulated. Hopefully genuine users here appreciate my drawing attention to this.
What does it matter to anything? Corporis could be botting against himself for 'credibility' for all we know.
Up and down votes are a terrible system anyway. Even if the system isn't being manipulated artificially, it's still mob rule by a mass of idiots.
All these reddit spin-offs enable all the same features that allowed reddit to be gamed.
There isn't a good way to prevent shills and mob rule on an anonymous forum, so the best we can do is eliminate the features that make it worse.
Information needs to stand on it's own for everyone to evaluate, not filtered through populism.
At the very least, users should only be allowed to up/downvote while replying.
50/50 on this being the game. what reasons would he be controversial for? he called everyone with upvoted posts "toxic abusers", I think he may be a tranny too.
