> I had five 'vote alts' when things were in the new list, or to vote on stuff when I guess I got too hot-headed.

I can totally understand that, I used to spend a huge times on forums, communities, etc... And I also used to have a bad temper. Of course I created fake accounts to upvote myself and downvote others. I'm pretty sure anyone who is a bit clever and also a sour loser/has a bad temper, has done that before.

And only 5 accounts? Maybe there are others, but that's really minimal. That's "unprofessional" which is a good thing and I really think things are getting blown out of proportion. Reddit wouldn't be the same without this guy, that he acted like a kid or not.

PS: What is actually sad here, is that he wasn't doing it to give to the community, but just for internet points.
