Admins are you even going to help try to stem the issue of vote manipulation, it just seems like you don't really care.

I just worked with some IP2 mods over the last few days and an hour ago we just rooted out a big alt-account upvote brigade and banned the related IP address ranges.

It's a work in progress, our tools are getting better, as are our techniques as we practice using them more.

Good to hear that you're working on it, sorry that I might have sounded a bit rough with title, I made saying that you guys don't care, I was just getting frustrated seeing people manipulate votes.

It's alright, I forgive you, I totally understand the frustration. It's just a complex problem without any easy solutions. But we're working on it. The brand new "block user" button under every post and comment will help a lot too I think!

At first glance, I didn't think you could do anything about the vote manipulation without ruining the site culture but you guys have put some serious thought into it and you might be onto some ideas which could help make the place better

What sucks the most is that people's lives are so empty as to consider doing things like this as validating and fun. It's such weak tea. But they love it, because they live in grinding emotional poverty.
