@LowellHeddings I just verified on a small subreddit using two accounts, one old, one new.. and it works 100%, at least for a strategic basic mix of upvoting and downvoting. Flat out insane that this takes effect *even without validating email*

Reddit has fairly pathological rules for a community. For example, you can sign up, *not even validate your email*, and begin downvoting everything in sight. I just confirmed this behavior in two browser windows, with two accounts, one new, one old. Try it yourself.
