Cheating on PF: Is Permanently Banning The First 100 Thanks Justified?

[micromass]

I think the first person to have a 100 thanks should be permanently banned from PF. It's not physically possible to have a 100 thanks so quickly, so he must be cheating.

Careful micromass. I can click your post's "Thanks" button 100 times fairly quickly.

I'll do it if you don't dlgoff. Someone has to stop the menace that is micromass.

May be micromass is right. someone with multiple account/(have large friend group) can easily do that. and It counts as cheating because in that way if (s)he post a crackpot idea then (s)he also get several Thanks.

We can count all anonymous free proxies as one if they come from non-trusted unknown institutes (but this seems like a challenge, likely too complex for a simple script to defy). I don't know the real meaning of Thanks button below each member name but it's nice to say so as well as to know I am thanked for my reply. A Good idea of a good manner.
