I'm fine with stars not being significant, but it's still not good if a malicious actor can suddenly spoof hundreds of accounts and spam stars, comments and what-not.
- OJFord 8y agoBecause that's a completely different interaction. You can still create another account and star it again. Sure, your IP will be rate-limited (GH at least) if you script it and start hammering stars, but that's not because it wants to protect the integrity of the repo star count.
