In this case, an existence of automated reversal mechanism is enough for my curiousity :D And if there are many shared traits with that serial voter, provided that I'm starring a sock, I should be an extremely ridiculous guy doing naive things and asking for punishment. | |
| Dec 27, 2014 at 10:09 | comment | added | Thiem Nguyen | Hello guys! It's been almost 3 years as a SO resident and this knowledge ecosystem not only gave me uncountable expert helps, but also made me feel like I'll never be forgotten. LOL sometimes someone pings me with a comment in a very old answer and I update it (and update my knowledge as well, which is a good thing). Sometimes they just ping me to say thank you, and that's simply wonderful! To say about this thread, well, tbh I still didn't know who did the vote serial and why. But I was just happy because they are reverted. | |

People think all kinds of things and without thinking we cannot see the alternatives. But to take the effort and go as far as to tell someone, that you are suspicious and you are not gonna tell why - it does not sound too nice or helpful. That is already an action (based on unimproved discrimination) - since it already has or potentially has effects on others. | |
| Dec 27, 2014 at 7:10 | comment | added | Roland Pihlakas | Just happened to read this thread here. There was something that left a nagging feeling for me. If the appearance of socks "is not completely far fetched", then perhaps there is something wrong with the discrimination ability? One cannot go around saying like "all Chinese have similar face" (choose appropriate foreign race for you). If one is unable to discriminate clearly on such strongly loaded questions then one simply should not do that discrimination at all - mentioning it sounds already somewhat threatening. Guilt should be assigned clearly, not based on similarity. Just my thoughts... | |

@TheEstablishment: Not necessarily devs, IIRC community mods can as well. (Search TL for "For future reference: doing that is literally" with quotes)

| Apr 12, 2012 at 17:43 | comment | added | Cody Gray | @jadarnel27: I think the point is that the moderators will have to turn them over to the developers to review manually. As far as I know, mods don't have the power to invalidate votes (yet!). | |
| Apr 12, 2012 at 13:03 | comment | added | Josh Darnell | "reviewed to be invalidated manually" - I didn't even know that happened. Interesting! | |
