But seriously though. Let's just work under the assumption that nothing can be done about the mass upvoting/downvoting issue that's been taking place. I'm tired of parroting the same "nothing can be done" answer over and over anyway.

Someone (or some people) out there have the ability to manipulate scores behind the scenes (let's call this person or this group of people collectively as the puppeteer, just for the sake of my typing). So the puppeteer can mass upvote posts that they like and mass downvote posts that they dislike. They have their own agenda, whatever that may be. This much we know.

Looking at the score for Mrs. Potato Head I can come up with three possible scenarios:

1) Whoever uploaded post id 5787 decided that they're going to go the extra mile and mass upvote the build. Trolling on top of trolling.

2) The puppeteer saw post id 5787 and decided that they're going to join in on the fun as well.

3) The puppeteer saw post id 5787 and decided to mass upvote the post as a form of damage control (aka reverse psychology) - Hey great job man. You won the "Ugly-Beyond-Repair" Award. Here's +50 to your score. Haha. Good one. No one can possibly fix this or take anything good away from this now. You got us. Haha...so, can we all get back to making conventional beauties?

I'm going with scenario three on a hunch but it looks like the answer to that last question is still a big "no":

Well, I've more or less reached a conclusion on the mass upvoting/downvoting issue, but that's all I care to speak on the subject (name calling without any actual proof is not really all that well-thought-out). At the end of the day, all you really need to do is to ask yourself this question:

"Alright, so there's a puppeteer on this booru - whose identity is unknown - and they're likely not going to go away any time soon. All my current and future posts will be judged one way or another by the puppeteer and ultimately it will be reflected in my score (and other people's scores). Does the idea bother me enough to make me want to stop posting?"

1) Yes.
2) No.
3) No, because there's no puppeteer. It's all just a troll. Shut up.

Done.

1. We have no full control over the booru. Its limited as fuck, and the only way to get full control is to host our own instance, which requires money and time.

2. Have you performed a hard refresh or cleared your cache? As mentioned in link below, we have fixed the hidden downvoted posts. No dice with the upvoted troll cards though.
