I took a look at this and there was some mass downvoting going on. I will be rolling back the downvotes on the affected comments and upvoting them.
Why exactly?
You are one of the ones who talks about people's free will, people's prerogative to use these systems as they will even if their intent is nothing than to troll. As long as they aren't actually cheating the system, why change that now?
Well, supposing that we know true Fakkers are not the cause of the downvotes, that means the downvotes are made from multiple new fakku ID's on which the recent activity will be downvotes and minimum commenting/posts.
If the IDs are made solely for the purpose of downvoting and only downvoting, it beats the purpose of having the ID, which is to interact, contribute and enjoy Fakku community more than just as a guest.
Thus since the ID is invalid, the opinions made on behalf of those IDs would be null and void as well by extension.
How about direct intervention?
I suppose Jacob and other privileged Fakku staff have the authority to, as Jacob mentioned before, rollback votes and also, what I am proposing here, ban the Troll IDs (TIDs).
I can only assume, but if Fakku staff can access all information regarding account activities, then how about we (Fakku staff):
1) filter and list all IDs recently made (esp around the start of the downvotes)
2) look to see account activity. If it is a real account, it will not only have downvotes, but upvotes as well, along with posts/comments.
3) Ban the IDs and the emails corresponding to the IDs (if the activity is ONLY downvotes, it will most probably be a TID, so there is little risk of friendly fire.
4) repeat the process should Trolls simply use new emails to create more TIDs.
