Here at the NA forum, is anything done against multi-account abuse?

I'm doing this post to check if you've ever had problems with smurfs in the forum that give positive and negative votes indiscriminately.

For example:

User1:_ comment on something_

User2: As I don't agree with you, I'm going to give you a negative opinion on all my accounts,while I'm giving myself upvotes on ALL the comments I make.

User2: Since it's not enough, I'm going to downvotes you on all the comments you made today.

######The use of the account was seen because it was sanctioned in the forum and continued to comment on another account. I wanted to know if there's anything about this kind of situation.

Thank you for your time

That probably gets labeled as vote manipulation. Not sure how they determine what is or isn't, but they have disabled voting on posts before due to it.

I can't say for certain, but the answer is very likely no.

I've always suspected their were people like his. I know for a fact though, that they are people who just click onto every post and downvote it without actually reading or even seeing what the post is about.

Like Imperial Panda said if it's clear that a post is getting upvoted or downvoted heavily within a very short period of time, such as a minute or two after a post went public for example, then it's probably a case of vote manipulation and can get a thread vote locked because of it. If you suspect a thread has vote manipulation going on in it then please let us know either at Discuss the Boards here or in the Moderation Discord server and we'll see what we can do about it.

I've been accused of it, but I don't think people actually do that, no.

######If I actually did care enough to do it, every post that disagrees with me would have somewhere between -30 and -50 ...
