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."
How does your script determine if someone is manipulating votes? Not asking for a friend, I just don't want to end up on the naughty list by using Voat in a weird way that makes the script flag me for whatever reason.
Nah, professional is having various sockpuppet accounts via VPN that say belligerent strawman statements to your main account. Then your main account easily defeats those responses with moron logic. Folks eat that shit up and they become your upgoat farm for your main without you doing hardly anything.
That's what I found works effectively. This is JDIF tactics 101.

Do not use an alt to upvoat yourself. If you do, use a different VPN connection ;-)
