>I've been out of the loop for a few years, but no the votes aren't manipulated. Could you then explain the, pretty much on the dot, massive score changes every 2 hours? That was even more noticeable when the downvotes were shown - although they were 'fake' the final score, which is according to the FAQ correct, was changed. I noticed this when I created a simple graphing script, you can see example graph of what I'm talking about here: https://github.com/Nikola-K/reddit-thread-graph#example https://github.com/Nikola-K/reddit-thread-graph#example You can see that on any popular thread until the score is "normalized" around 3k points.
