what do you have against people maintaining their security culture? why does everyone have to be identifiable on an anonymous internet forum?

If someone makes a good effortpost and it immediately drops to page 2 because of the flood of news links, I log into 3 or 4 different accounts and upvote it to rescue it from the sink so the user is rewarded for their effort.

Case in point

Raddle / postmill doesn't store IP addresses for users marked as trusted, so I would absolutely consider it shady if their IPs were stored to prevent them from upvoting twice. Because a) i don't care if they upvote twice and neither should you and b) privacy is more important than an illogical attachment to sacred democracy; a concept which really has nothing to do with my anarchy and is best subverted rather than made systemic.
