Fair warning about vote manipulation (infosec.pub)

submitted 2 days ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I have no idea why this is a thing, but it’s come to my attention that there are several accounts here that are engaging in vote manipulation. This is fair warning that if it continues, I’ll be suspending the accounts involved.

Why not immediate ban instead of fair warning? Fair warning is more for a mistake in good faith, vote manipulation is kinda the opposite by definition.

Or message the accounts directly?

I have messaged them directly. At least the ones I am aware of. This is a warning to others that I may not be aware of or people who decide to try it in the future.

did they use multiple accounts to vote multiple times?

Yes, that’s correct
