Okay, I’ve looked into it and there was some voting fraud going on.

Someone had created a series of illegal alts and was using them to vote poorly. I’m not sure who it was exactly, but I suspect that it might be someone who was banned repeatedly yesterday and who sent me a few threatening emails later:

u suck, seriously..maybe i will stick around just to see if you can actually find me and ban, because i doubt you can, and even then, obviously your bans need work heavily hehe, youve been so trolled, ive trolled youre entire site, and you..theres not much further challenge

This person is the same person who has repeatedly (read: at least 4 times) sent me 3-5 tubmails or emails in a row about a particular issue, impatient that I haven’t replied to the first one that was sent 10 minutes before the 5th one arrived.

Anyway, two of their known IPs have been banned, and all the poor votes were deleted and everyone’s scores were updated. If you were buried as a result you should be unburied but please let me know if it isn’t working properly.

One thing I would advise is: don’t vote in retaliation until you have heard from us. You might be voting something down that doesn’t deserve it. For example, the Tree ****ers idea is from a well known forum user that certainly had nothing to do with this mess!
