I was afraid this might be happening. Let's hope it won't cause more harm than good.

MODERATORS
98.8% now. Edit: Ross just uploaded a new vid saying he has no idea how many votes are fake, but he's suspicious due to votes coming in at night when the first 40% were mostly during the day in Europe.
Didn't the initiative gain at least 50 to 100k each day this week? That must be bots / fakes!
Or (puts on tinfoil head): it's the big gaming industry faking signatures to make the initiator (and the people who follow him) believe they won and don't further promote the petition
A portion of those signatures will turn out to be invalid, so we have to keep going past 1 million if this thing is going to fly. Aiming for 1.4 million might be wise.
