We? Speak for yourself, please. I'm only chatting to you because it seems you're focused on something meaningless: virtual points on the internet.
If you have something worth hearing, say it. People will listen if your message is important. Otherwise, patrolling the internet or worrying about post votes (just listen to what we're talking about!!) seems like a waste of our limited time breathing.

It's not a chat site, it's a discussion site, and some people get influenced by what they read.
Of course not a ton of people, but still, the discussions on it do have the chance of having some effect
If there is systematic manipulation going on, we should look for ways to fight against it.
