Creating a bunch of accounts possibly to manipulate votes
Looking from the admin level, doesn’t happen that often. Vote manipulation is already something we keep an eye out for, and usually it’s done to highlight certain content (ex. pushing some political angle) rather than boosting one community over another.
you can stop seeing by adjusting your “Show Bot Accounts” setting
I like some bots, but I only subscribe to a bot-only community if the volume of posts is reasonable.
Taking a look at the current sidebar, it might be nice to reorganize the stats section completely
What I’m thinking is:
By default it will only show some stats, where users can select what stats they want displayed in the settings. This way I can hide the stuff I don’t care about, instead of having to look through the already busy list.
**Statistics:** [✏️edit] - Monthly Active Users: 4,000 - Total Subscribers: 30,000 [ v see all v ]
Then expanding the box will give the full list of stats:
[ ^ collapse ^ ] **Statistics:** Active Users: - By day: 800 - By week: 1,200 - By month: 4,000 - By year: 24,100 Subscribers: - Total: 30,000 - Local: 12,000 Comments: - Total: 81,000 - Today: 510 - This week: 1,315 [... etc]
It opens up the possibility of including more items in that list. We could also replace the
expand
option with a link to a full statistics dashboard page.
