Looks like the author is taking advantage of the recently exposed voting forgery: <iframe width="1" height="1" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="http://new

  But I didn't expect it to work! According to the comment at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3742893 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3742893 "Just loading the vote URL directly or in an img/iframe wont work because votes that don't have a HN referrer don't get counted." edit: the author of that comment has edited it to remove the part about img/iframe. It DOES work in an iframe in this case. As of 146 points I have removed the code from the webpage and sincerely apologise for any confusion caused. Nonetheless, I hope that the bug gets fixed soon so that others won't exploit it to promote more malicious sites.

      You sound like a cop. I hate bijected badges.

      no it doesn't, he didn't even obfuscate it in all the JS he had to be loading for that game already. I demand higher quality trickery!!

  Attempted to take advantage. Doesn't seem to have worked, or at least, I visited the link and it still shows the arrow unvoted. Edit: Looks like he commented it out before I clicked. So I guess it did work.

    I removed the offending code 15 minutes ago.
