+%0A%0AAnd something I just want to also add. Yes, sooner or later there is an easy bot to self-vote anyway. But it still raises the cost of doing it in that you have to have a machine running this script, you have to at least know how to install it... This is not difficult, but it also means the system is not directly facilitating it, you have to go find somewhere that is doing it. It is also a detectable behaviour.%0A%0AI am starting to lean towards the idea of simply using analytics to show people what is actually happening, and to be able to construct hypothetical scenarios that model how a parameter would change the system. If bots are involved in this, their deterministic behaviour is in itself easy to spot, and then you can use community outrage as the defence.
