Hi Leetcoders!

Check this comment - https://leetcode.com/discuss/general-discussion/324861/LeetCode-Community-Rules-NEW-VOTING-POLICY-(effective-from-March-18-2022)/1313974. Just in case LC deletes the comment without acknowledging the underlying problem, here's the image :)

Fake accounts, fake voting!

This is something that has been a growing problem in leetcode discuss system in recents days. Many people are using fake accounts to downvote other people and upvote their posts to the top.

Leetcode recently updated their voting policy here - https://leetcode.com/discuss/general-discussion/324861/LeetCode-Community-Rules-NEW-VOTING-POLICY-(effective-from-March-18-2022) which is a good addition.

But this is something that only solves one side of equation while the other remains (probably making it worse?). People can still create accounts from Temporary emails and simply upvote their posts to the top. JUST LIKE THIS ONE! AND ITS NOT GOOD😔

This will result in bad posts going to the top if people start abusing this loophole. People will even refraining on downvoting on them because it leads to fall in rep.

Upvote if you think this is an issue.

If you dont like this post being at the top of homepage, it means you still support it bcoz that's what this post stands against. You cant downvote this enough even if you dont like it. Fake voters will simply keep upvoting with more fake accounts :)

Comment what you think LeetCode must do to fix this loophole...
