Are there reference data sets for this problem? If not, you or reddit should publish data sets.

The issue with giving information as to how a voting detector work is that it would make it easier to cheat.

Not the algorithm, the data. Anonymized user ids and their votes, together with relevant meta-data.

I suppose the fact that there's already a detection algorithm biases the data, but it'd still be better than nothing.
