I think you underestimate both the capability for automation and the motivation of the spammers.

- jacquesm 17y agoThe motivation for the spammers would be the direct clickthrough from the new page that's what they're doing it for today, their accounts would never have a snowballs chance in hell to make it to the leaderboard. Votingrings with sockpuppets would be detected long before they would get even near that level, presumably long before they'd reach even 10% of what it takes to get on the leaderboard. There must be softer targets than the HN leaderboard.
