Hacking on PMC
PMC has exploded with blog posts recently! Down-vote trolls, now hacking! I read a featured article about it, yet here is my in-depth review & hypothesis on the situation:
1 Hackers:
The classic black hat hacker: he hacks for his own benefit, to steal money or get fame. Yet I believe the hackers on PMC are different. In the article I read, he thinks the uploader of the server hacked his page to stimulate views and to be featured. Well, that is possible, and it is obviously hacking, yet-
2 Sabotage:
It is possible (and likely) a hacking program has been distributed, yet I hypothesize that an outside hacker has come in, and hacked other peoples pages, to get the uploads and users banned, so they stand a higher chance of getting featured.
3 Why?
I believe it is an outsider because:
4 New discovery:
Apparently, thanks to Charlizard, the recent 1 up button being changed into diamonds (and removal of the down vote), could have resulted in a bug!
Thanks for reading!

3 Why?
I believe it is an outsider because:
- In the server section, all the well known servers are up voted 10 000 times (or more).
- Not all server owners would want to do this, since it will obviously result in a PMC ban.
- That means it is most likely to be an outsider.

I've been working on this blog, and have been trying to bring you as many screenshots as possible (I also found a NEW discovery!). I also noted that the amount of up-votes was often the same.

so i do not think a hacking program was sent around
if it was, why would they all hack themselves the same number of up votes? hackers are not that stupid
i smell sabotage

My Expression: -_-;;
And he is keeping them cause he may add back the downvote.
