Stickying a new post so users see / vote on it faster is vote manipulation? Doesn't seem to be the case per reddit itself. [1] 1. https://reddit.zendesk.com/hc

  Oh FFS, did you even read the link!? Here, the last bullet point: > Forming or joining a group that votes together, either on a specific post, a user's posts, posts from a domain, etc. That perfectly describes what was going on with moderators leading the mob by stickying dozens of posts per day, directing them towards their brigading targets.

    So every sub is vote manipulating by nature of being a group that votes together on specific posts? I see. Don't break the site from the sidebar would have been a better option.

      "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his internet-ego depends on his not understanding it." If you refuse to see the distinction between vote-manipulation and organic vote behavior, then I think we're done here.

        "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his internet-ego depends on his not understanding it." If you refuse to see that I simply disagree with the fact their stickying constitutes vote-manipulation, and assume I'm arguing in bad faith because I don't hold the same viewpoint as you, then I think we're done here.
