Any ideas why mariazingzing - Professional Profile - CodeProject[^] is top of the pops in QA? I can't see any recent answers. (Or have they all disappeard down the spam chute?)

Probably because his old answers has been upvoted during the last 24 hours.
Smells like sock puppet voting but the sum of points indicates that at least one voter has a higher reputation.

Did you check the rep graph? There was a similar authority spike back in 2012.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I checked it but did not recognised the spike from 2012. So it looks like both spikes are due to voting by a platinum authority member.
I did not viewed all answers but it looks like someone is counter voting now (which is silly from my point of view).

@BillWoodrufff and I have both noticed recently that we have had a raft of our answers upvoted for no apparent reason (there's a thread [^] in the Lounge about it). There used to be a phantom downvoter, seems we now have a phantom upvoter!
|
|
|
|
|
I remember the thread and can second (or third?) such upvoting. It happened with my answers too but for recent ones only (not older than a week).
|

Yes, I agree this one looks a little more socky.
|
|

The problem I see is that ... based on looking at four or five of this poster's answers ... their posts are mainly a solution consisting of a single link.
I agree, this one is suspicious.
cheers, Bill

They're back at the top again - there was a raft of upvotes noted in the comments below, followed by a raft of down-votes (also noted below). Now it would seem that the upvoter(s) or sock-puppet if it is a problem is going back around up-voting all of their answers again.
@sean-ewington - can you see what is going on?

Hmmm. I looked a few things. Clicked a few things. Let's check to see what it says in an hour or so. I'm not sure how often that list refreshes.
Thanks,

I don't think it's plagiarised ... according to LinkedIn there is a Cyril Cooper working at ServerSuit. I reported it as "Wrong Type" as I believe it should be a Blog

I've recently deleted some ServerSuit spam, so, I'm not going to worry about the reason this one is gone
