fighting votebots - TR mirror

[pranays]

How do I fix this because I just deleted one of my videos and reinstalled it; I only have like 6 Subscribers and I see spicks on my graph.

The one I reloaded had 5*s ratings then in one day it went to 1*; the only thing I could not think of what else to do so I deleted and reloaded it, but that Deleted all the nice comments and everything.

The others are still there can some check the stats for me and let me know if it is a bot attack please and thanks.

"mirror" in the videos title means that you are asking the wrong person.

Good luck with it!

As to checking whether it's a votebot attack -- search for videos about bot attacks, look for those that show how to detect an attack, and then look in "Insight".

You can't do it for a deleted video, though.

Thanks for info I do have other videos I can check.

I take it that all your videos were votebotted ... ???

One clue is the number of votes to the number of views. Most videos get ratings on 1-10% of views.

Currently, creationists are votebotting Ardi videos. Not that it changes the scientific facts!

Thanks for mirroring this video.

The more people who get the message, the better we are able to fight the votebotters.

I meant to tell you that I'd done this - and then I got busy - and then .... you know the rest.

Unfortunately, your video won't get much traffic on this site, but every little helps.

I also wanted to record our conversation about this issue in the descriptions box. (The only place on YT channels without a 500 character limit!)

[terrarising]

I have no problem with that.  :)

With my bad memory???

Kidding.

I thought that you'd be OK with the upload and the conversation, TR. Otherwise I would have asked for permission first.
