Makes sense. It's just that #4 position with 6 upvotes is the most extreme ratio I've seen yet. When I said that it seemed impossible without manipulation (on a post now flagged), I did not mean that manipulation was happening, just that this seemed unusual.

You didn’t mean it was happening, but saying that it’s “almost impossible” that it isn’t happening doesn’t come across as moderate as you might have intended.

Exactly.

That's why I said that it seems almost impossible... but that's not very clear or moderate over text, my bad.

How new are you? I’ve seen this a bunch. The weird ones just fall into oblivion quickly.
