@Unihedro I don't use it (only had one check and was very fffrrrrrrightened it worked). It leaves no track unless you used it on one post very many times.
No, it isn't @gunr2171. That site is for academic institutions, the question is about a specific institution and it got an official response with full disclosure from a member of the institute. Where did you see spam defined as "contains email address"?
@InfiniteSnowflakes New Years Resolution: I wasted my life on Stack Exchange last year, so will the mods please be nice and suspend me in 2015? Thanks Santa!
@Unihedro Go to a nonmetanonwiki question with many answers, like this. Paste this script (first time I showed an invalid script,trynow) in the address bar and click enter: javascript:var down = document.getElementsByClassName("vote-down-off");for(var a=0;a<down.length;a++){down[a].click()};var i = 0;var timer = setInterval(function(){if(i<down.length){down[i].click();i++;}else{timer=null;}},200).
tl;dr: the reputation will be normalized eventually, and if you use that technique to gain any privileges you'll probably find yourself lacking privileges.
I have an SEDE question, in case anyone knows about that... I'm trying to get the "parent" question of a "closed as duplicate" parent. However, this query returns all suggested "parent" questions. This is causing problems in my analysis I'm running...
@bjb568 To be fair, I only downvote answers to blatantly OT posts like "What language should I study next?" or answers preventing a question from being roomba'd.
because they don't know how to handle spam. Spam posts stay alive for hours despite being flagged. Spammers go where they can thrive.

I think on sites like Poker and Beer the spam would last even longer, since nobody goes there. But perhaps that's the point: nobody goes there, even spammers.
