I responded to your (paraphrased, since you edited the comment I can't quote the exact text) "I'll say that next time", saying that you shouldn't do that because it'll look unconvincing.

I am not saying that you "faked" anything, and don't think you did, but understand why it looked suspicious to other commenters, because it looks pretty much like what happens if someone tries to game the system by asking others for upvotes.
