Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content

I once got banned for “vote brigading” on Reddit because I upvoted a crosspost that was deleted later, so this comes as no surprise. They have been monitoring upvotes and downvotes since forever.

Wtf is “vote brigading”?
JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz 3 days ago
When one community goes in mass to affect the votes in another. E.g someone is doing a poll/vote, and you link that to somewhere else with the hope, or sometimes direct instructions to go vote on it in a certain way.
That’s why reddit has cross-posts and the np (no participation, disables voting in the linked content) subdomain that try to keep the votes separated.

Slightly off-topic, but it’s en masse, not “in mass”

English is my third language, it’s hard to remember which parts of it belong to a fourth one and shouldn’t be translated (because “en masse” is literally French for “in mass”)

I don’t think i ever came across cross posted content where up/down voting was not allowed 🤔

If you cross-post, that sub gets it’s own up/downvote count. You would have to open the link and go to the original post to see and affect them, so it already discourages brigading
NP is when I link you directly to somewhere, e.g np.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/…/barbie_doll/ won’t have voting even if you are logged in, not on the post or the comments.

Agreeing with something the owners don’t like.

Well that’s just screwed up.
