I didn't write this second part you quote.

While flooding for weird malicious purpose is a possibility
that immediately struck me, there are countless explanations
that could be given. Never come to a conclusion to quickly.

I think they can hand-check to see if the "three" authors of
the small images all gave their best votes to same image(s).
But if the person that does this is clever, it will be hard to
tell.

Anyway, there will be enough voters to easily determine the
real best images. This kind of technique can't be used to
enter the top six, I think. You have to submit a rather
good image for that.  :-)
