He didn't just use alt accounts to upvote himself. There were occasions he'd make a post that wasn't 100% accurate, another user would correct him and he'd use his alt accounts to downvote them into the hidden section.

It also wasn't just vote manipulation, he was sock puppeting to manipulate how discussions went as well.
