Probably a few sockpuppets upvoting all his comments. Presumably they’re accounts he doesn’t reveal by commenting or mass-downvoting with them. You only need 10 karma to vote.
Evil mods seem like a poor explanation :-) but I suppose anything’s possible.

I wonder how many total accounts The Great Eugine Noir has at this point? 50+? I suppose he would only need to create a handful (~10-12) of “voting” puppets that could be used over and over again. Then he needs a steady supply of kamikaze comment puppets which, after vetting themselves artificially by posting legitimately useful rationality quotes, are inevitably banned once he actually starts voicing his opinion through them.

I’m looking for the sexiest explanation.

I wonder if Eugine has a favorite sock puppet?
My guess is fewer than 20. Probably more than 10, though.
