It is super obvious that filling up Discussion with such posts would not be good for LW, I have no idea who the hell upvoted that and wonder if they were fake accounts.

If concern about fake accounts voting is an issue, fake accounts are generally low karma, write a SQL query that gives you the information to know whether most of the votes came from low karma accounts.

It is possible that some vote in faith that their votes stay secret. Revealing information about past votes should therefore be considered carefully. At the very least, state publically that the set of all future votes may be queried by the admins; the admins might also want to make public any queries/algorithms they want to run a while before they do, to see if the public rages.
