Fake upvotes on discussions.

I feel like some discussions have fake upvotes. What do you think?

Not only do discussions have fake upvotes, but they also have fake comments from fake profiles.

@viktorbresan Yeah, I get the impression that about a third (if not more) of the users are bots.

Fake discussions from fake profiles with fake upvotes so that upvote sellers can bypass the security checkpoints and create a list of fake credible profiles for guaranteed upvotes.

@kshitij_mishra4 As far as I know, you get points for the upvotes on your discussions, so your account gets boosted.
