Hmmm. You might be right. Are links from Less Wrong actually that valuable that they would spend time designing ways to spam our site in particular? It seems like there would be more low-hanging fruit for them to target.
Hard to say without knowing more about them (than I’d care to bother with. :P) Lesswrong links would be more valuable than the majority of the forums out there that are readily spammable but I am not sure how broad there spambot net is.
By way of ballpark estimate I too would be surprised if they bothered to create mutual upvote scenarios. (I’d expect them to just switch to comment spam if anything.)
