How should Lemmy & Piefed handle voting activity from banned/deleted accounts? (piefed.ca)

Vote manipulation is getting more common. Some recent examples:

While the accounts were banned, the malicious voting activity stuck around.

Should admins have the ability to discard votes, and if so, which admins? Should community mods have that ability? Can you think of any ways that tools like this could be abused?

Buddy I don't care how hard you're trying I'm not going to let you move the goal posts. Answer the original question.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but since that isn't what I said, implied, or alluded to, and what you asked is literally the exact opposite of what I was suggesting, your question is fucking stupid and maybe you should learn how to read English if you're going to join in a conversatiom written in it.
