You are right, this will be just as abused just like the current moderation system by shills.
I really would like a user preference that lets me block users greater than a certain UID. This is because there are very few genuine users over a certain ID.
What about a way to block specific users, which in turn ALSO blocks all their moderation?
Say some group of shills mods post Y down to oblivion, by having them on your block list, those down mods are invisible and not counted. You now see the post for how it is, and if anyone else modded it +1 whatever, you would see that as well, as long as they aren't on your block list as well.
Of course, this could be the way it is currently, but as a/. noob, I don't have a good enough idea of what users to block.

That would break the confidentiality of moderation. Block a user on your account and compare the scores when viewed through that account to the scores seen by Anonymous Coward. Then you can see how the user modded every comment.

From my heart - to whomever the moron who made this decision was: FUCK YOU.

Anyone with me? How do we slow down the shills?
