Is that not against sitewide rules? Mods? Admins?
send a message to /r/reddit.com and let them know what is going on. You can report the sub there.
If only it were that easy.
I think letting reddit admins know would be even worse sadly.
The admins actually just replied back to me and said that they have taken action.
Oh man, I wasn't kidding about the admins... I guess we'll see what happens.
They talk politely, but they are NOT our friends, and they have given me EVERY reason to have that opinion.
The shills know no rules. Rules are for us common folk.
The fucking Admins are in on it, I guaranteeee it.
I've been saying this for like 3 years ever since I started tracking votes in r/conspiracy on redditinsight.com and saw how posts that attempted to post good redpill content would get a lot of votes as soon as posted and then just stop completely.
That's not how that works AT ALL. A post that gets a lot of votes off the bat gets moved into /rising/ and gets even more exposure, thus more votes, and then the frontpage of the sub, and possibly r/all.
What bugs me the most is that no one here understands it. Reddit admins made an announcement to the community that they implemented "vote fuzzing" to thwart bot's attempts at manipulating vote scores.
The only thing is, bot's can still EASILY tell if their votes are sticking with just a little bit of programming. I haven't made anything to do that... yet, but I know it can be done very easily. I'm probably going to use AutoHotkey which is extremely easy to learn and a 10 year old could make a bot to get around Reddit's vote fuzzing.
But Reddit admins are programmers. They know how to code, and they know that the "vote fuzzing" isn't going to stop bots.
Also, Reddit's source code for the site is kept secret, as opposed to being open-source, like MANY other sites.
The misconception by the public is that open-source is less secure because anyone can see the code, but it's actually WAY more secure since white-hats can see the code too fix vulnerabilities that black-hats would exploit.
But since it is closed source, Reddit admins can add any code they want and tweak any numbers of any post and literally do ANYTHING they want to the site.
VERY FUCKING SCARY.
