I have no idea why this is a thing, but it’s come to my attention that there are several accounts here that are engaging in vote manipulation. This is fair warning that if it continues, I’ll be suspending the accounts involved.

Seems like it could be a non-stop game of whack-a-mole. Even if you ban accounts they can just create more. If you do a good job of the baby sitting, they can use even more accounts to mask patterns. I don’t see how an admin can prevail.

Disabling down votes would prevent the practice of down voting to suppress. But probably the most effective is to disable voting entirely.
