  Very cool! Did they do a write-up? I haven't been following lobste.rs closely and some quick google searching returned a lot of unrelated content.

    There's an example of the admin, pushcx, eliminating a voting ring in this part of the moderation log: https://lobste.rs/moderations/page/4 https://lobste.rs/moderations/page/4 He's really good at that.
