Fundamentally, though, how can it be stopped? The two instance administrators can only see part of what’s happening, and can’t directly determine that the votes are coming from two alts of the same user. Maybe over enough times, the patterns can be guessed at with heuristics, but this kind of vote manipulation is going to be a problem for federated communities. Especially if we don’t get better moderation tools developed.
That’s kind of what I wanted to point out with this post.

Oh look, it’s the new Unidan.
Oh wow this is great
“This guy has the right idea.”
I’ll do this if it’s important information that needs to be shared and seen by more people. Otherwise I don’t bother. I’m not in it for the doots. I’m here for the community.
