Thanks for confirming this feature. I mean, if someone's name stands out in a nice bright orange color, I might feel just a bit trigger happy to upvote it. Unless you're just completely ignoring votes by other YC alum altogether, I can't see the ring detector being able to discern from authenticity vs bias towards liking orange colored names. Even just a few upvotes can give someone an advantage.

We don't see voting rings involving orange accounts getting more traction than voting rings in general. Our systems certainly aren't perfect, though. If you think you see a post that is being affected by sockpuppet voting, you're welcome to send us a link so we can look into it.
