It's something we keep an eye on. I would hope that somebody getting sbi votes on comments would be sensible and use #sbi-skip on a status call (status call response will still work). So far people have only been targeted based on their own abusive behavior (with SBI being a tool they use to profit from their abuse).

Even that is pretty rare, since the SBI ROI cycle is too long and abusive accounts typically want a quick churn because they don't know how long it will take to get caught. Accounts can be blacklisted from SBI for abusive behavior.
