Are admins able to detect where a user is coming from? I'm honestly asking, not trying to be snarky here, because I appreciate your responses. It just seems to me that unless you can tell where a user is coming from or how they came upon a post, that roping them all in as a raid seems misguided.
Also, how can you know that they weren't just voting their honest opinion? Just because they came from 4chan or where ever doesn't mean that their vote is influenced by that.
I myself was seeing the threads on 4chan that posted links to reddit here, and I didn't see much, if any, "get in there and upvote this" type comments.
I also remember seeing one user post their conversation with an admin, in it he claimed he'd never even been to 4chan before, and his reason for banning was being involved in a 4chan raid.

For obvious reasons I don't wish to elaborate too much, but yes, we do have that ability in some situations. None of us issue bans on suspicion or assumption.
