My account seems to have been attacked by some karma-bots that have rampaged through all my answers, up-voting them - @kixyakiqu and @chikezil are two .

OK, it's a strange kind of attack. But it really messes the karma system. Please can an admin delete them and undo their damage?

I noticed over a dozen accounts created in rapid succession with no question or answer activity - a good sign that someone is up to no good. We'll look into the pattern.

Someone must really really like you then.

Nice take on it, but no, I think it's that someone doesn't like this site. Fake high karma is no use to me whatsoever (until someone invents a karma-to-cake converter). But it does harm this site, by undermining the karma reward-system.

I like the idea of a karma-to-cake converter. You could even possibly just get cupcakes for smaller amounts of karma!
