    Yeah I forgot, I remember someone talking about Pleasant Politics doing this. I don’t think votes should be used like that but it is not up to me.

      Yeah, I think it’s a not-well thought out idea. All it would take is a group of several people, or one person with several alts, and you could send most people into the red on updoots and get them banned.

      Wonder if the tool can ban mods? If so, you could dethrone the mods of Pleasant Politics long enough to cause some serious chaos before the admins got on and fixed the problem. It seems like a potential security vulnerability, to be honest.
