I didn't want to say this or bring this up, but I've noticed from a while that when you click on some of the accounts, you'll note a number of them are less than two years old, and have no description. Some are even less than half a year old, yet have >1000 points, and no shares, just that from comment upvotes.

I have a throwaway as the anonymous accounts on HN seem to be called that I use for example, not for trolling of course because I care about this community, but I hardly ever use it and it has probably less than 50 points due to that. How can a 150 day account accrue 10 points per day?
