If you get in the habit of occasionally posting unpopular opinions youll notice sometimes you attract people who will reverse troll you, upvoting your entire post history.

Might it just be people being happy to recognise someone sharing their point of view?
-
Who is checking their own post history's upvote count?
-
Detecting that would require a skill set.
-
You mean like a particular set of skills? Skills you acquire over a very long career?

If you let my post history go now, that'll be the end of it. If you don't, I will look for you. I WILL find you. And I will give you a discerning disapproving look. For like....a really long uncomfortable silent time.

How to get someone banned.
Step 1: Copy the targets username but add a "-1" to the end of their name.
Step 2: Upvote every of their comment.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Congrats, you are an asshole!

Are mods actually dumb enough to assume someone would be dumb enough to include their own username in the vote brigading account though
-
Mods are no different from normal users. They'll ban you if you say something they don't like.
-
Eh, mods are kinda like cops, shoot first ask later.

........? I'm stupid. I don't get it.
-
I think they're suggesting it would seem like the user is upvoting their own comments with an alt, which could get them banned.

I sometimes do that, but only like 3 or 4 posts/comments, not the whole history.
When I read a comment that makes me double-take, I check whether this is a troll that spouts a certain kind of contrarian take on every thread (you know the kind I'm talking about), or if it's someone who posts reasonably most of the time but will put out a mind-provoking thought once in a while. I think the latter is fine and part of healthy discourse, so I'll upvote the unpopular take and some of their reasonable takes that I checked.

You're a good person.

Coughing on people in 2020 gave me plenty of erections.
-
Just one extra upvote for you, smartass :).

I have that habit 😅 ...but I've never seen a reverse trolling
-
Hard NOT to upvote such a based comment history. ✊🏼
-
Never noticed.

Actual schizo behavior lmao I love the internet.

No no no, we don't do that kind of critical thinking around here, blind outrage posting is the only allowable form of communication!
