Title: Has This Been a Problem?

George,

Has this been a problem at Value Investing News? Is it widespread? I assume it's not common, but has the potential to throw off voting totals anyway.

Title: It's an emerging problem

It's an emerging problem that could impact user experience here at VIN. I've received a few private complaints and upon investigation I found that some stories were recently voted on by the same person using multiple accounts.

Title: Funny, how I was thinking

Funny, how I was thinking about this the other day. Do your thing george. My philosophy is, if you post quality links, people will vote for it.
