Absolutely. They are doing it with the intention of karma farming because they only post shitposts and useless Reddit crap like this, but this is a serious issue if they move on to opinion posts and politics.
Cheers. This idea definitely has merit and honestly should have its own thread. I'd encourage you to make one on kbinMeta, spark a discussion and tag ernest to see if he would be willing to get rid of the existing system in favor of this. He is very open to community feedback in my experience so hey, might actually get it implemented!
This is exactly what some people are after. It lets them believe they are oh so better for having no life outside of the internet. And content quality on kbin suffers in the process.
And now they've started to remove their downvotes. I don't even get it at this point. I'm just gonna go to bed that person's a headache to figure out honestly.
Yup bahahah, I already expected that. Those are rookie numbers - this person is on another level and there are a LOT more to come. I'd love to see how long they waste their life on this.
Here come the downvotes - 4 downvotes, 3 of which are from accounts that were made after I posted this. What a loser lmfao I can't get over it this is fucking hilarious. This is pathetic and should be proof enough that vote manipulation is something we need to deal with.
Exactly, the person I've mentioned in the post has already made 5 accounts in the last hour. We will never be able to block all of em. Identify, name, shame and of course downvote - the thing that will damage them the most.
Its concerning that kbin might turn into Reddit with low effort shitposts hitting the front page most of the time because a few people decide to make tons of accounts and boost their posts early on to take advantage of the algorithm. They absolutely are a dork ass loser for ruining what could be a good thing - all for fake internet points, sheesh.
The OP is a shill and they have made a shit load of accounts on kbin that boost and upvote each other while mass downvoting others that have posts trending towards the top - all to farm karma.
The OP of the current post made their account specially to downvote that comment LOL. EDIT: They removed it after I made this comment. I must say usernames are a good way to convey messages that you're too ashamed to comment.
You will continue to see me calling out OP and their alts. This can't and won't become another Reddit and karma whoring folks need to be called out and discouraged.
The following accounts are all the same person and in the very unlikely event they are not, they are still collectively vote manipulating.
That wouldn't help you much sadly. This person has at least 10-15 accounts (that I can reasonably suspect based on their boosting history) and they will definitely make even more as people get to know about them. You can expect an increase in shills as kbin becomes more popular too lol.

Nice catch! And would you look at the boosters of amnesiac7's trending post
This is crazy
I can guarantee they know, they went through the effort of removing downvotes from a bunch of their accounts from the comment thread I linked. Sigh
And this is what I'm talking about lol, see any familiar names?

Echoing this, that was an excellent suggestion by @Catch42. There should be capped karma and magazine specific karma.
