How nice ...

"Before they got their proposal approved, they were self voting 60-90 comments/day for $2+ each, while downvoting people who did the same thing with 10 cents and $10 downvotes."

... to learn hypocrisy can be added to the list.

So ...

How is it their proposal then receives the support that it does? What would that be called?

P.S. I see somehow putting their account names in my post has been blocked. Not sure how, then, you were even aware it had been posted. That said, I do thank you for your comment and shedding more light on the problem, for the sake of others.
