Does this count as vote manipulation? It’s not multiple accounts at work.

No idea :)

I agree with you there. Malicious or petty users are always willing to take the extra step to gain that information anyway.

I believe the newer versions of mbin only show who upvoted, they’ve taken to hiding downvote info. Still lots of other ways to view that data though.

Like I said… I don’t feel any of this crosses any lines into rulebreaking. I just wanted to vent some annoyance :)

I… could…

I confess it obviously came to mind. I guess I haven’t done it yet because part of me feels like I’m stooping to their level and escalating the pettiness? Which is dumb, since I do ban others for the same reason. Bah, logic, who needs it.

If you’re aware enough, you can feel one landing on you. Easier to do if you’re aware there’s one in the room and you try to focus. No real way for them to evolve around that.
