- Raphmedia 9y agoReddit encourages cross-posting. This thread for example https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/7cm3o8/the_reason_you_shouldnt_be_concerned_with_ea/ https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/7cm3o8/the_... There's also the fact that the main thread has 62.9k votes and is probably on the front-page. This make it so that every reddit users will go through it, see the horrible corporate answer and downvote it. I myself am not subscribed to that subreddit and still downvoted that comment. Edit: And there are probably people looking at https://www.reddit.com/user/EACommunityTeam https://www.reddit.com/user/EACommunityTeam directly. Edit2: And it blew up on Twitter so that's a lot of the downvotes.
- danso 9y agoBut this activity is considered to be a form of "brigading": https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/24d8cj/whats_vote_brigading_and_why_is_it_illegal/ https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/24d8cj/whats_... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vote_brigading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vote_brigading Brigading is not "illegal" on Reddit, but some subreddit's explicitly forbid cross-posting because of the brigading effect. Such subreddits require the use of the np.reddit.com domain, which points to a mirror of a Reddit thread while disabling vote functionality.
