Come on guys... the whole reason the requirement is in in place is so that new accounts, namely potential shills and bots, can't distort the stack. The rule is supposed to allow those who put forward community-certified content to have an extra downvote option. If people want greater sway over the investigation, shouldn't they have to earn that right? Am i wrong?

Hmm, unlike paid shills who instantly get 100 upvotes we slowly acquire them. I assure you paid shills need not ask for upvotes, lol.

On the other hand, if someone were to go shill hunting they could look for people who put forward shitty posts that mysteriously accumulated a ton of upvotes. Whereas if we accept upvote charity posts, we wouldn't. Of course this wouldn't stop them from upvoting/downvoating and lurking, but still, 100 points isn't so tough. I think it'd be better just to remind the community to remember to upvote appropriate content.

Are the mods hunting and banning shills?
