Apparently there is a huge voting manipulation going on. someone is using alt accounts to upvote his posts and downvote other's people posts. I don't know if the admin is aware of this issue or not, but at least he should do something about it because it's annoying and childish. otherwise, this site will turn into reedit 2, and bots will start farming karma.

manipulate deez nuts!
At this point there is a 50% chance that either this site will turn into a clone of Reddit, a 40% chance that this site turns in 4chan, and a 10% chance that this site forms its own culture and way of posting.
As long as I can call people faggots and voice my opinions, idc
2 hours ago I had almost 1000 karma
Yeah, as I said, someone is manipulating votes. It's annoying and childish.
I worked hard for that karma
Hopefully, Cicero could find a way to prevent this.

Yesterday I had 400, I blame the shared account
I think you are right, There is a post that exposes how the shared account is used for voting manipulation.
I think the shared did that to everyone because most users karma has gone up
Karma takes into account your own self-upvotes, which happen automatically when creating a post/comment.
While this karma count is shown on your profile page, in the next update getting Founder status and having enough karma to not get captchas anymore won't take into account self-upvotes.
/u/anonymous has 10 pages worth of posts. I don't think there's much vote manipulation going on.
Do you think so? I noticed that some of my recent posts and comments are being downvoted, I couldn't care less anyway, but this hurts the site overall, as I explained in the post.
I suppose I could make total vote calculation IP based.
I'll look into it.
Thanks for looking into it, because this will be a huge issue once the site starts growing, as people will create multiple fake accounts to farm karma and maybe even start selling accounts like Reddit.
