I noticed a lot of down-vote attack on whatever topic about Monero.

If down-vote spam continues, I have more than 800 trash accounts to suppress your unindexing attempts, I could even put posts in trending.

Don’t make me “evil” (by starting botting activities) please, because I’m a winner in this domain.

    Creating a bot that spams upvotes on your own instance is easy. And so is blocking all downvotes. But either approach does not really fit this instance, and I’d argue we’d loose one of our major advantages.

    If you want to help out and have sufficient skill, I’d highly appreciate some method to detect bots and spammers reliably, so that those accounts could be flagged automatically.

      To suspect spam attacks (doubt is still important):

      • Verify if up/down votes are coming too fastly
      • If the topic isn’t controversial or malicious ect, there’s shouldn’t have vote attacks (expect on user-targeted spam).
      • Bots can come from multiple federations. The only way to notice them is pretty random username without sense & their post/comment activity is dead.
