@quid, @DanielFischer, @another mod: I've been witnessing multiple times each day a post such as this one being immediately followed, seconds after posting, with an upvote. This happens on many especially poor question posts. I find this practice to be in bad faith: like a pre-emptive upvote, for a question surely bound for closure.

@amWhy if somebody would do this systematically it might be an issue. If it is just accumulated noise it will be hard (even impossible) to deal with.

@quid I can't know if it is one person, or a few. I do know @gimusi often is present. I will start keeping track of the posts, because this happens far too frequently that to be merely noise.

@amWhy yes, please do so. Best please bring them to my attention close in time.

@quid Thanks, I'll work on it!
