Dejavu voting: Can we not have it here please?


 Share

Recommended Posts

So far, every single contest with voting (Short of Mister Tanki Online, but when there are only three obvious contenders who are all keeping in touch with each other it doesn't really get controversial) has degraded into an accusation fight about second-accounts, hacked accounts, and goodness knows what else.

 

So, for this contest, can we please have the voting somewhere else, on another site which doesn't block by account but by IP (Which can not so easily be fooled)? It'd save a lot of arguing and contentious results. After all, in a small-ish community like our one, with only 1000 total votes in the latest contest [in contrast to 3x the amount in the Russian contests], an extra 40 votes (Which is not too hard to get for some very devoted people) makes a big difference.

 

So can this contest be using a system which blocks multiple votes, not by account, but by IP? The one that I use for polls requiring IP is polldaddy but anything other than a forum voting system - which is easily cheated with multiple accounts - will be fine. Please can we have this, so that in this contest, the winner of the viewer's choice will have no controversy about it?

So every player could use the public net to get more votes. You see, there aren't solutions, so skitee i don't agree with yuor opinion.

@Nick: IP can be cheated. I'm not going to deny that. What I am saying is that IP is far harder to cheat than user account.

 

Also, me and hogree do not use the same IP number. We use different user accounts on the same computer, which, from my experience, does not block things which are blocked by IP, for example polls like this - it's also a very handy way to save passwords and everything. Anyone who shares a computer with family members, I think you should start to use this method - it is honestly really helpful. Again, that is another way to cheat IPs, yes I know. However, it's a lot harder way... lots of people already have multi accounts, and can be cheated. Less people have separate user accounts that they know the password to, I expect.

My strong opinion is that the current system with a viewer poll is OK, as long as a few problems get sorted out. The viewers choice is a nice way to throw out extra crystals to the audience. About the hacked accounts, yes, there are multiple websites where people list their passwords. However, the majority of hacked accounts are blocked from the game and so can't vote on this forum. The goal therefore I suppose is for an admin to systematically go through all the pass sharing websites and block each account name that is listed there.

In previous competitions, there has been an issue with people and their friends using mult (secondary) accounts to vote for themselves. I have seen some people say that they have ten or more...

The good thing is, you require to be a Gefreiter to do anything on the forum, so its not super easy to get yourself extra votes. However, that is a problem.
