Which is exactly why the moderators frown upon comments that mope about astroturfing - they add nothing but noise to the discussion. Any weird voting biases will even-out over time. If you suspect astroturfing, send an email to the mods instead of degrading the quality of conversation.
- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoI don't know if "nothing but" is fair. They add noise, certainly. But if astroturfing is happening, to pretend by fiat that it's not significantly distorts the discourse.
- kick 7y agoIf astroturfing were happening, the best course of action would be to alert moderation. Baseless accusations of astroturfing help literally no one, and poison discourse.
