In an attempt to be welcoming to the refugees I am going to ask you politely to not do this. Vote had it's immune system and so does Poal. The suspicious behavior tag is part of Poal's immune system and intentionally acting suspicious in order to get the flair dilutes the usefulness of the flair. Don't be a faggot trying to collect achievements... be a valued member of the Poal community by just up voting content you like and down voting spam and child porn.

I'm trying to be nice and welcoming here... some of you are acting like douche-bags.

While I agree with the "downvoting should be reserved for reporting spam", I think that a weakness in the "immune system".

If some are legit getting it for downvoting real spam, then something is wrong.

If others are getting it for attempting to figure out the algorithm to work the system, then the tag itself needs to do more than merely display.

If it does nothing, then it WILL be treated as a badge.

It's one thing to have an influx of voaters, but another to have an influx of shillbots. (No. We are not all the same.)

Ensure that people downvoting spam aren't punished.

Maybe restrict "suspicious behavior" people if they keep continuing to be suspicious. Like, if it's truly algorithm-based, then if they continue, have mod verify and advance it to "confirmed jackass" to where they cant do more stuff but can either appeal or change their ways in some fashion.

Ruqqus is a pile of shit, but to use them as an example.. While as an exilee I cant comment, I can still upvote or downvote the shit out of people. Not sure if that will lead to anything more at some point, though.

Basically, the tag is becoming flair. An appeal to users is good, but means that it needs to be strengthened without hurting regular assholes who aren't truly intent on hurting the site.
