Yeah downvoting and upvoting is impossible to deal with without asking Reddit to intervene and checkout who is doing what from which computers and where. If an entire comment thread has comments with -1 to +2 votes in 24 hours and then someone makes a comment and it gets +10 votes in 20 minutes, there's not much a mod can do, but Reddit can investigate and ban people.
