|
| | | We have another "spike" problem, this time even more blatant, on Ahui Herrera's A&M Train Station. Between last night and this morning, more than 30 votes were cast for this model (out of less than 40 total cast) in all the special categories. (...)

| | | | | (...) I was wondering how long this would take to happen... It is pretty sad, its one thing to vote (once) for your own creation but to intentionally sabotage a contest that is relatively meaning less. By that I mean there are no real prizes, (...)

| | | | | (...) Ugh. I spent a fair amount of time viewing all the entries and carefully making choices. Not an entirely satisfying end to such deliberation. It wouldn't be unreasonable to limit voting to the contestants, though that would mean I wouldn't get (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-01, to lugnet.town)

I had planned on fully looking over the entries, when I had time to do so (it's not like I let myself have a lot of time for that sort of thing). Also, for me, (...)

| | | | | Might I make several suggestions. 1) If you are concerned about multiple voting use the poll taking engine that is used by the webiste From Bricks to Bantans. They use an engine that allows only 1 vote per IP address (in essence 1 vote per person). (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-01, to lugnet.town)

| | | | | | | (...) Ahui, I would suggest that your friends should not have voted at all if they weren't going to look things over. Your model is good but it is far from "Most Humourous" there are other good aspects to your model but I think you would agree that (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-01, to lugnet.town)

| | | | | | (...) The majority of people get a new IP address every time they sign in. They tend to get IP addresses that are clustered, so it's possible to spot ballot stuffing by IP address, but they will be able to vote from many IP addresses. And what you (...)

| | | | | | | (...) The software engine that is used on From Bricks to Banthans does not allow multiple voting from the same machine. I'm not sure how it does it, but I would imagine that it uses both an IP address and cookies. As I said before I am not familiar (...) (23 years ago, 21-Feb-01, to lugnet.town)

| | | | | | (...) Well I can give at least one reason why not being allowed to vote for yourself might be counter productive. For example say there are 5 entrants in a catagory and I feel the following. 1. My entry (can't vote for me) 2. Really cool layout I (...) (23 years ago, 21-Feb-01, to lugnet.town)

But that's why my g/f's 'selected voting panel' would be good: have Kevin select people who he thinks WON'T do that (I'm sure there are plenty on Lugnet). Or fall to plan b, which is no voting in a category (...) (23 years ago, 21-Feb-01, to lugnet.town)
