How do you vote? It says: "You can not vote in this poll"

I must be getting picky in my old age but out of a list of 13 there is only 2 I like so voting was easy.

Where's the Lindt? Who do you think makes Extra Dark Lindors?


As for Hotel Chocolat, which part of 'the poll only includes products available across the high street and not in specialist stores' did you not understand?

People shouldn't vote twice or it makes the whole thing a waste of time.

But I am telling you I have voted for creme egg twice to check it is working and at the end chocadmin can take 1 vote off creme egg can't he.

I can vote now. It seems an unfair voting system though when we can all vote as many times as we like. Also who has voted for Flake Dark? No one voted for it in Smurfys original thread. 
Title: Best Newcomer Award 2006
Post by: loulou on December 16, 2006, 07:38:46 pm
Well the idea is we all be honest and only vote once.

No no no no. I voted for creme egg twice but chocadmin has to take one off as the second was a test. Then I did smurfys vote for him so no no no don't be spreading gossip and rumours GC or I'll block up your chimney and Santa won't get down it.

Why is it a sham? You don't have to know who voted for what. Remember their is a link from the homepage to this poll - all the dozens of people who visit but don't post, and who review and rate bars without posting in the forum, are probably voting.


Of course the fact that my favourite is currently winning helps

True but it's still unfair as some people will inevitably vote several times for their favourite. I'm not trusting enough to believe that they won't.

Sorry don't know what's up with it (the forum is one of the few things I didn't write on the site). Very strange that it allows some but not others, I set it to the minimum level of access control - hence why you can vote more than once.


623 have you tried logging out of the forum (the forum logout link rather than the main site one)?

Title: Best Newcomer Award 2006
Post by: chocadmin on December 19, 2006, 12:33:15 am
Someone probably spammed it - I'll look at the database tomorrow if I get a chance. Sadly I don't think it records IP address for the forum so I'll have to guess which ones to remove.
Title: Best Newcomer Award 2006
Post by: Forth Bridges on December 19, 2006, 04:20:25 pm
so how did Lou know people IP address? 
Title: Best Newcomer Award 2006
Post by: chocadmin on December 19, 2006, 04:51:58 pm

I killed a bunch of votes off of the CDM creme egg - this forum system doesnt have very good logs for the voting in polls so it was too much like hard work to trace the IP of who did it.


Have changed it to one vote per person so hopefully that will stop it being abused too much.

I know I'm late but I placed my vote. Is it supposed to be a secret or can I say I voted for CDM with cream egg?   OOOOPS! LOL
 

Unless it's wrapped round an enormous chunk of ginger I don't like dark chocolate or at least none that I've had so far anyway.

 

But I love dairy milk and the idea of putting cream eggs into a bar so you can put it down without it rolling over and spilling the middle everywhere is just brilliant.

I had a tasty bar fitting that description when I was in Scotland, but I have never seen it in England. Wish I could remember its name! My friend in Wishaw originally introduced me to it, I believe the factory was somewhere in her area.
