So this was created by the founder of Windscribe, eh? Hm.

/u/magnora7 can we get a quick audit of how this post has 13 insight and 13funny (3 while I was typing this) when its just another, new, unknown free DNS service? Just making sure actual human posts are made by those accounts with normal use and upvote patterns

Oh these are definitely bot votes, from fake accounts, no doubt about it. They're attacking this website nonstop like this for weeks now

What's being done to combat them?

We're constantly uprooting groups of accounts related to the attacks, and we're developing new game plans to deal with them. As well as taking on new content administrators to help keep the site clean from these types of attacks. It's not an easy thing though, and it sucks

i actually tried doing a fake vote, and this is what they look like when you hit both the light bulb and the smiley face, it takes about ten accounts to upvote something and it will be at the top of the home page.
