Well, I have two questions for you.

1- Let's say that advancedatheist is really manipulating votes. How would you do it? He would have to have dozens of fake identities, or having hacked the forum code somehow. What would be the evidence of this?

2- What evidence would convince you that he is not manipulating votes?

It's relatively* straightforward for the mods to see which accounts casted the votes. If the accounts have business casting votes that would be evidence that advancedatheist is not responsible for it.

*In theory, in practice Trike Apps hosts the server and one of their guys has to query the database.
