What the actual fuck happened while I was gone?

I left the Boards for like a week and now all I see is vote bots running rampant. Hot's a mess with 2-second-old posts at the top. I haven't seen any discussions on it from anyone, so someone please clue me in.

Vote bot evolved. It now tends to do smaller vote amounts to ensure a post stays negative. This makes it harder to track what the actual vote should be. Like my recent post in discuss the boards multiple times got 7-8 downvotes instantly upon refresh.

It was upvoted but got sent down. Then when enough people agreed with the post it still reached a decent score despite the bot. So the bot hit it again. It keeps getting voted back to positive so the bot keeps knocking it back down.


Riot doesn’t care enough to fix it and the mods don’t care enough to disable votes. So it will be like this until the end of the boards.

like that new forum layout that doesn't show updates to your posts or replies? That's my favorite feature atm.

in this thread a herald literally just claimed that he doesn't even think the vote bot is doing this. So this entire time they haven't even known it is real, so a fix isn't coming ANYTIME soon.
