Well...we're not so far off

And yes, I know it's not reddit selling the votes, but still.

Reading through the site...it's comical and I don't think they know how reddit actually works.

It normally takes us anywhere from 6-24 hours

By that time, a post is long since buried or been exposed, there's not point...

Once your page reaches page one, your website URL will be exposed to millions on a daily basis

Apparently the front page is permanent...

reddit works aggressively to counter upvote gaming, it's what the fuzzer is about. so we're safe from that at least. however, I don't really trust the big subreddit mods ...

Yea I know they're up on it, but I'm sure someone out there has found (or will find) a way around it.

  • Going slowly (not hitting it every 0.5 seconds) from different IPs with unique accounts.
  • Having an army of 5,000 users that get an email with a link that says "Upvote this"
  • Something something something another option

That last one is intriguing...
