Description
Describe the bug
Currently my entire recommendation screen on community notes is the same guys giving out notes to the same post of Elon Musk selling crypto. These guys have clearly gamed the system and now vote each other to basically achieve "note helpful" on every single note.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to 'this profile'
- See 528 Influence by copy pasting the same reply like a bot under hundreds of posts.
- See many other profiles with similar behaviour gaming the system.
Expected behavior
A team at community notes that actually cares about community notes not being completely taken over by manipulators.

Research direction
Start with the linked Community Notes profile and the recommendation screen described in the reproduction steps. The issue names no source file, test, or implementation entry point, and its expected behavior asks for broader intervention rather than a defined code change. A maintainer would need to specify the anti-manipulation behavior and acceptance criteria before work can be considered done.
