Nice idea, but it doesn't matter if this doesn't work in practice.

- pfd1986 10y agoI don't think this would work for small-ish subs, would it? Most upvotes one gets might actually come from the same group of people...
- rehevkor5 10y agoMaybe you could compare the user's ratio to the median ratio for all users who have posted in that particular sub, or something along those lines.
- bluejekyll 10y agoYeah. This seems as likely to detect cohorts of similarly interested groups of people as it would a voting ring. This might be useful though, in that things which trend towards honest are actually trending toward general interest.
- tdb7893 10y agoYa. I would be curious at the false positive rate for this. For a website with millions of members and few voting rings you would need the false positive rate to be really really low for this to work
