Vote fixing

Dec 05, 2010 02:04


Hi guys, I'm sorry to say but it looks like someone is trying to fix one of the polls.

One poll in particular just had a spate of votes from deleted user accounts with similar names (e.g. ending in the same numbers or with similar words in them).

Definitely don't count them. Jeesh, really? Come on whoever you are, if you don't win, you don't win. It's not life and death here.

I agree with the others. Who wants to win that way anyway? It's not much of a challenge or contest if the fixx iz in. Glad you caught them. Dump their fake voter deleted asses out. If you fcan, ban them from revoting. Use the ISP ID thingy or whatever it takes to expose them.

Oh good point, I'm not sure if the ISP thing will work with the poll but I can go and have a look - thanks for the advice!

How ridiculous! Why would anyone want to cheat in a poll like this. Do whatever you have to to keep this fair, you know we will all back you up.
