  • seems trivial to check for a login/subscribed etc. then increment up//down votes. why link each vote to an account in public? maybe for mods an account(s) to be banned for botting votes?

    • Because then people can vote an unlimited number of times.

      There needs to be some sort of identifier

      • array votes[post_id, vote]; // for storing in user profile not public but can be hashed if you don't trust your dba
