Maybe next time make people have a deadline to register an account and only those registered by then can participate? It would prevent alot of cheating...obviously there are flaws but I think it seems a good idea

Unfortunately, that was not the mod's fault. We had to wait for confirmation from management.

Oh sorry, I completely misunderstood your post.

But I still don't think it's a big deal.

The person that submitted the entry had about 8 user accounts. I don't feel sorry for them at all.

Indeed, good idea.

But you're punishing people who voted for a legitimate option and didn't cheat for the actions of those who chose the same option and did cheat which is wrong. How is this not fucking obvious?

Starting it off with "lol" nice to know that a fairly serious point was funny to you. The reason wasn't quite obvious, there are many reasons, none fully answered why. "They're just silly points" shows how you're making light of an issue that many take seriously.

Niall I'm very sorry for calling you a cunt

Yes that seems sincere doesn't it?

Oh and finally a definition. "contentedly confident of one's ability, superiority, or correctness; complacent."

If you can't see how that word applies to your post...well...I'm very sorry

Cunt

But seriously...

In Soviet Russia, mods are banned by entries!

Ah ok, I can understand the frustration for the mods just as much as the participants, just needed more clarification at the beginning of the competition I think.

I may be misunderstanding but how is it punishing the voters? The voters aren't really getting anything unless they have a top entry.

Well, let's say for example if they were ahead by 20 votes. There were at least 20 votes in there that were not legitimate. It does suck for the people that voted legitimately, but we can't just ignore blatant cheating and let it slide because we feel sorry for the honest voters. Life's full of disappointments. And how would that be fair for a submission that is totally on the up and up, to lose out to a dodgy entry?

If there was a way to figure out the exact number of unscrupulous votes, and just delete that number of votes, that would be ideal, but it's impossible.

By having an entry with a large amount of votes they're more likely to get votes and have the potential of winning than an entry with +1 votes which is what they got.

It's pedantic but when fairness is being cited as a reason for removing entries I'd like to see it applied across the board you know?

I still don't see how the voters are affected...
