Alright so on Christmas some of you might remember that the front page was far worse than usual thanks to organized spamming on v/aww ( https://voat.co/v/whatever/2933436 This is a thread that was made about the spam at the time it was occurring. 175 upvoats. People were clearly seeing the spam. )
There were several accounts, Users u/EasterDoggie, u/PuppoKitteh, u/FrostyPuppy, u/KittehCane, u/CatoDoggo, u/CaptainPupper, u/DoggoPupper which all seem to be created on the same day, and all post the same material to the same subverse.
So today I notice one of those users once again reaching the front page using v/aww
https://voat.co/v/aww/2941077
The first two comments made to that were by users of v/Soapboxbanhammer
Now that these sockpuppet accounts are all over a month old, with a decent amount of SCP/CCP, they're being used to attack average Voaters.

Oh and conveniently, a user of v/Soapboxbanhammer is the only person commenting on that?
So I point out that @Puttitout stated he would put an end to the nonsense happening in v/aww and who comes to defend the sockpuppet account u/FrostyPuppy? Gabara, of course. Someone who spams v/aww and is also a member of v/Soapboxbanhammer

And here is @Puttitout Stating that he will purge the cancer of v/aww

Stay vigilant, goats. There are people here actively trying to manipulate you and abuse the structure of this website.

Look I understand that in general people submitting pictures of cute cats is hard to consider as "spam" when it comes to v/aww, but can you please consider that using several sockpuppet accounts to bypass posting limits and appear to be several users instead of just one as an issue?
Especially on Christmas day, if all of their submissions to v/aww had been made from one account it would 100% have appeared to be spam, and people would have reacted poorly. However, it had the guise of being several users, and so it was only noticed by a few of us instead of the majority.
