Gotcha, well that is unfortunate, as it is obviously being used by some, go$fsckyourself, for exploit.
I am not following this whole thing very closely to be honest.
People in general should just be aware that votes are almost public, and behave accordingly.
Yeah, you need to read the whole story to see how they are abusing those votes, gang behavior, swarming, by someone down-voting them, using this outside tool. I think there are other exploits as well.
I am well aware of the tool, I sometimes use it myself when it looks like people are manipulating votes.
At the end of the day, it is just that: a tool. What people want to do with it is a different story.
