Curi's karma periodically spikes despite posting no significantly upvoted comments or any improvement in his reception. I suspect he or someone else who frequents his site may be generating puppet accounts to feed his comments karma (his older comments appear to have gone through periodic blanket spikes.) He's posted main page and discussion articles multiple times after his karma has dropped to zero without first producing more comments that are upvoted, due to these spikes.
If this is true, it would be natural for the moderators to step in and ban him.
I asked matt if this could be confirmed, but apparently there's only a very time-consuming method to gather anything other than circumstantial evidence for the accusation.
Jimrandomh had an idea for setting up a script that might help, maybe talk to him? In any event, it might be useful to have the capability to do this in general. That said, since this is only the first time we've had such a problem, it doesn't seem as of right now that this is a common enough issue to really justify investing in additional capabilities for the software.
