We banned a bunch of accounts today and sent a tremendous amount of warnings.

I did accidently run a batch with a bad config setting and had to manually reverse things.

I think many that got warnings today may be from things up to two months ago.

We don't check warnings like we do bans, so you can get a warning pretty easily but it's nothing to worry about, just a way of us saying "hey, your account showed up on the naughty report."

Important note: We only analyze voting patterns. No IP at all.

Something is off then. I’ve been stingy with my votes lately. I used to up vote all replies unless they were completely anal. I guess maybe I’ve given out more down votes than usual.
