Are you pretending people can only see the part of the post above the edit line when they vote, or something?

I downvoted you for being obnoxious in the edits.

Thanks! That’s all I wanted. Better than the silent initial votes.

HN does vote fuzzing so you’re literally tilting at windmills here

Um, what is "vote fuzzing"?

“Vote fuzzing” is a practice where a site’s reported vote count is intentionally made to report inaccurate figures. This is a strategy that some sites employ to attempt to throw off vote manipulation. I am not sure whether HN does it, but it is famously employed on Reddit.
