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

Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

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)?

Click on the log out bit next to the settings, then click on where it says about voting in the Latest News section.  It works for me!

Something's gone wrong somewhere - at the moment CDM Creme Egg has 1952 votes!

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.

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.
