> Can someone actually do anything about this?

Yes. The previous case you mentioned had already been dealt with; this case has also just been dealt with. The votes in question have been invalidated and the users suspended, and details have been logged in our anti-abuse systems to help prevent further abuse.

No system is 100% effective, and while we do have comprehensive anti-abuse systems in place there are always ways to circumvent them. Our systems are run by a team of volunteers and we have human checks in place to make sure we're getting it right, but this relies on volunteer time so takes a few hours or days sometimes. It's not the end of the world, and comparing it to a criminal offence and real-world legal systems is hardly proportionate.
