It was an example. I do not know anybody else on HN. :-)

    OP is asking, "Does HN detect and deter voting rings?"

      "it will" != "will it"

        "it" refers to an hypothetical scenario. The lack of clarity about this issue is clear by the context of the post.

The reason for asking this question was to know whether HN has implemented such features or are they working on such features? Did I screw the message up? Or was it difficult to comprehend?

  > Did I screw the message up? Or was it difficult to comprehend? I chose to ignore the main question, which yes, I did comprehend and no, you didn't screw up - it just doesn't interest me. The sub-point I was interested in - the broader picture - is the one I responded to, hence the quote in my reply.
