Maybe not sliding, but there are definitely measures of this being employed. Its hard to have anyone be taken seriously to try and try to come together over an idea. Not only that, but they multiply down votes on relative and positive connected statements. Thats how it is easy to spy them. ORRRR, there are a lot of deportees that have yet to earn a ticket....

Indeed, it’s hard to prove but I have the strong feeling that handshake brigades are a very real thing at the moment and are selecting the content that gets out of new to a degree. This would allow whoever controlled those brigades to influence the general disposition of the content presented to casual users who browse the front page even if the content does not reflect the majority of content that is being posted.
