I guess what I'm asking is more like if someone who is an authentic user could increase their influence by splitting their activity across multiple accounts.
They're posting quality stuff from each (and zapping it from the other) and they're zapping all the same posts from other stackers, but with half coming from each account.

Yes. If their multiple accounts are engaging in a way that many people trust, they can increase their influence.
This isn't something we've attempted to address directly, but this kind of behavior would most likely show up as a very well connected sub-graph, ie a cluster, and we can penalize such clusters.

That's interesting.

Yeah doing the work of ten men should grant you the reward of ten men. And if we aren’t verifying work appropriately, and you are merely claiming to do the work of ten men and we don’t know that you aren’t, it’s a problem.

Ok, but you would look like 10 men doing 1/10th the work of one man, plus whatever reciprocal zapping you're doing between your accounts.
The non-linear rewards disincentivize this behavior, though, right?

Yes, they will not get 10x the rewards.
