    Somebody told me that the robot moderator is susceptible to vote-rigging, and with my blessing they’re giving me hundreds of downvotes to try to get me banned from my own community. I don’t think it is going to work, but it’s useful as an experiment.

    It’s clearly well beyond the point of what would work in real life, since the admins would notice and ban the attempt, as they have some more subtle vote-rigging efforts in the past. I think that, even in the world in which you could get away with giving out hundreds of automated downvotes without someone noticing, this kind of thing wouldn’t work, but I have been wrong before.
