Upvote/Downvote bot is back
Any plan to fix this yet? One person single handedly gets to decide what threads get front page and which get buried on every board at this point. Again.

Nope. Voting is still healthy and the mods don’t plan to do anything about it.
We have a downvote disabling plan we're waiting on implementation to roll out to a few test boards and that may be expanded beyond that if community feedback is positive. Given how we believe downvote bots typically work I don't think it's possible for us to retain voting (which is ultimately a built in functionality of the boards and required for some of the functionality to work) without some potential for vote manipulation though -- but upvote bots are probably ultimately less harmful.
Yea this is ridiculous. Riot needs to do something about their own website
Would showing who upvote and downvote posts help to see if the same people are upvoting and downvoting the same posts?
