... is this practice legal according to the rules or does it apply to circle voting/commenting?
thanks

By "circle voting" we primarily mean severe cases of "popularity boosting". I.e. when someone creates obviously fake community accounts (often even not subscribed to the trading part of the contest) with the only purpose to increase the popularity of the main account. Clearly, those comments and votes have no relation to the true sense of the trade and are almost always meaningless.
Although this phenomenon scarcely can be liquidated completely (at least, at the present time), we pay particular attention to the severe violation of those rules by top-10 participants.
