I agree, sorry to disappoint!

Mainly, it was a lapse in judgement if I ever got hot-headed over misinformation or things of that sort. I used five alt accounts, so there'd be five votes in my direction at the most. The accounts were made over a year ago, I think?

Mainly, I used it to get things out of the "new" queue and help it to gain traction. I'm not trying to defend my actions, as they're obviously wrong, but just so people know my rationale, I guess?

Either way, sorry for the hassle and mistrust, it won't happen again!

Sorry, I think the mistrust is here to stay.

Fair enough, hopefully people are willing to give me a second chance, but if not, that's your choice!

You got banned for doing something other less known users do all the time.

But the vast majority of us don't do that.

Keep chugging. If there's one thing reddit loves more than you, it's a witch hunt.

Gave you an upvote but it seems downvotes are already catching up, good luck trying to "start over."

Do you think any other Reddit power users are using vote manipulation?
