This should help to address some of the issues encountered in our first
outing. For instance, in the final verification process we underwent to
ensure the voting results were fair and accurate, it was discovered that
multiple username votes from the same password in close repetitive intervals
(e.g. 1 min.) had been generated to vote for multiple models in the final
round of the competition. These votes have been determined as not legitimate
and removed from the final total. The problem, of course, is that users might
have seen strange things happening with the ranking on the site while we were
doing this verification, assuming that there was cheating going on.

I’m happy that Lego makes some verifications but don’t forgive to control the IP
addresses, because if somebody register multiple users with different passwords
and vote within not close intervals, the possibility to cheat remains high
(especially for who can surf on Internet during the whole day and has nothing
else to do...). And, don’t forgive to make the sign up more difficult (ig. ask
for a valid email address, full name...), this could be a disincentive for
cheaters... I know it is impossible to win agains the cheaters but at least make
their lives harder!
And last but not least, allow to a same person to win 4 TIMES is not fair!
I’m really disappointed of the first Legofactory contest. I don’t know if I will
lose other time to take part of the next editions. Lego has to work very hard
with the next Legofactory in order to have again credibility.
