If it gets upped by the community (presumably because it's interesting) what do the intentions matter?

  Is it possible to manipulate the upps?

  If you follow the link that amrrs published [1], the OP has a team that auto-upvotes all of his submissions. This is explicitly against the HN guidelines.

    My interpretation was that his team are pressing the 'submit' button, not anything else.

      Submitting a HN link with a URL that was posted recently will give it an upvote. Per the domain submission history (https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=starterstory.com https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=starterstory.com), he does not employ this strategy for all submissions, likely only ones with traction to obfuscate things.
