Poal is small enough that I typically browse /all/new/ and I see a fair amount of utter crap content (gibberish post title with no content) that gets a handful of up votes. Who does that? Is Poal really starting to have vote manipulation problems? I know you only allow showing down votes on posts for a reason but I have to ask... is it the same accounts up voting this crap every time?

Generally speaking poal is small enough most people upvote most content even the junk type stuff. I think this isn't necessarily a problem at the moment. In all honesty as the site grows it will probably work itself out as people don't feel the need to upvote things purely based on contribution and start voting based more on merit.
