This has lead to skewed score due to likely voting fraud.

In this answer, the answerer doesn't even answer the question (the question asks about how to map from the English word to the German one while this answer focuses on how to "guess" the language given a word). The style of the answer also looks like AI generated to me (I have already mod-flagged it for potential GenAI policy violation), yet at the time of writing it has managed to obtain a score of 10 from 14 upvotes and 4 downvotes within <2 hrs. Judging from the reputation of the answerer, all of the upvotes are "free upvotes".

The same user has also managed to ask a question with a score of 21 at the time of writing (23 "free" upvotes + 2 downvotes), when the question has existed for merely ~18 hrs with 95 views.

Please be serious with these types of issues and do something to mitigate it, or scores will be mostly meaningless as this answer predicts.

There is one more thing that I've noticed, which isn't mentioned in the meta answer linked above. Usually, garbage posts are downvoted into oblivion and quickly removed by users with at least 20k reputation. However, the ability to cast community delete votes from these users only becomes available if the post has a sufficiently negative score (as confirmed by @VLAZ). The "free" upvotes can keep a garbage post at a positive score, thus preventing cleanup via community delete votes. This is another serious issue that goes beyond just the misrepresentation of a post's quality.
