i may be misremembering -- maybe there was a purging for downvoting a mod's posts, or upvoting meta-posts that were critical of a particular mod (all in conjunction with failing to post a requisite number of times).
downvotes were the first thing to be litigated, with trans posting and posters getting a bunch of consistent downvoters, I don't remember a mass litigating of people's upvotes, but the mods definitely have that tooling to see who upvoted a particularly noxious comment, and see patterns
