I don't get how is that related? Stackers are already scored, so downzaps could lower the profile score and upzaps will increase it.

Because all the bots will get negative score, create a new account, start at 0. All they do is fish for sats by accident or by trick. So all you need is some visibility. First comment on a post is the top comment for as long that it is the only one.

Ok, so at this point even muting all these bots becomes useless then. How about signups limit for each IP?

http://snsnsnya6h3ot563f3p566wuhfoklkg5f62hokdlaqzcaub3gf4xlxyd.onion/ knows no ips. Plus VPN. Plus pay-per-second VPS. Totes gameable.

I think muting is, from a self-protection standpoint, the most efficient. From a community protection standpoint, upzapping good comments probably is more efficient than downzapping bad ones; at least that is what k00b convinced me of until I see otherwise (which honestly, I don't): #1431816
