Apparently we need a second in this series. Not that the owners give a fuck about this place.
Several shills run multiple concurrent accounts. This is done to run mass up/downvoting schemes, bypass posting restrictions, and thereby shill a narrative.

There are probably more. These are just the ones I’ve managed to NOTICE. Please add to this list with ones you’ve seen. Their purpose is to not BE noticed, just to slide in undetected and pretend they’re the same account. This is already a Voat rule. You can’t have more than one active account. It’s just common fucking sense, and only paid shills and bad actors would violate it. It just needs to be enforced. We need the website owner to pretend like he gives one flying fuck about any of us, come back for one day, and do it. Then he can fuck back off to his private shtel (or whatever he got out of the deal that sold us out to his ✡angel✡) without a care in the world.

A solution would be simple enough. It would be trivial to implement a system that at least 'flags' accounts sharing passwords and username, much less doing very simple automated data analysis of accounts commonly downvoating or upvoating the same content, then having someone verify the flagged shit and making a decision. Even something as simple of having a place where people could flag shit manually for review would catch a lot of these idiots.
The real problem isn't a technical one... it's that the people running this site are likely engaging in the same behavior. Which has been my suspicion all along. I mean, hell, when the site first got posted to r/conspiracy, it was a nightmare of javascript built on a .NET backend. I don't know any patriots that like JS, much less the closed eco-system of .NET. It's a honeypot, treat it as such.

How? Proxies and vpns and dynamic ips make it nearly impossible.

vpns and proxies make anything insecure, the only way to become secure is to lock them all out. Price too high? glad it's not my decision.

Uh... by looking at the username. These retards aren’t exactly intelligent. If the name’s the same, you ban it. If the name is different, you look at the browser UUID and the supercookies coming into the website. They can’t escape those.

It's not difficult to run multiple browsers, throw proxies in and they're all coming from different ips. Is there a server side way you know of to remedy the situation aside from manually checking post histories and seeing correlations? If it's manual then we'd need a dedicated team of people, I doubt anyone would pay for that.

Supercookies are set by the ISP. They’re quite a bit harder to change.
