    Sorry, what’s an upvote spammer and why are they undesirable?

      Op is talking about accounts that upvote spam content. For the most part those accounts will be the spammer’s alts that will be posting spam when the current account gets banned. Blocking them while they are still being used for vote manipulation means you wouldn’t have to see their spam in the future.

        Wow, did I misread that badly. Thank you for explaining.
