Simply, it's about time for the Site Council to investigate the voting behavior of the teams. Don't warn them. Just audit their votes. I'd especially check the first 50 votes on any recent challenge.

And, if you find some evidence of collaboration, make examples of the bums.

They already do this, remember the VERY public example of Rikki being banned and all the challenges he entered being recalculated?

Go take your tin hat off and calm down, please.

Whew... I hope some gang comes along and gives me some voyes, I sure could use them. :-)

LMAO Gangs?? We're only "teams" on paper and gang-voting is a bit of a conspiracy theroy, don't you think? Besides, WPL isn't even running right now.

Hey, Cindi, where are those ghost votes you promised me? :-P
10/19/2006 01:59:04 PM · #7
Sorry, Leeroy. I was busy with some covert gang activity and forgot to start ghost accounts for vote skewing! :/

it seems like every few days a thread like this pops up. to piggy-back what steve said, they already check for patterens like this. first of all 6 votes can not swing power that much and nto all members on all teams are good enough friends to even talk about cheating so it wouldn't even be that many votes. on my team otehr than my wife there is only 1 person that i really talk to and both of them won't vote on my entrys if they know what they are or recognize me. there is no fire here move along.

Why would you say that? Are there people winning that you don't think deserve it? I see the top 20 being pretty much were they should be..of course I don't like some of them and think maybe 1st place should have been 10th place but still think they should be in the top 10. Now if there was some voting that was being cheated on then I think we would start seeing crappy pictures in the top 20, but there isn't.

exactly you have not seen one of mine in the top 20 (except my hiding behind a post which is crap) so this proves this point

i dont see any of the gang members winning ribbons. most of them dont even make it into the top 20.

If I know who a particular entry belongs to, I don't vote on it. That solves that.

Hey OP it is like a Fart who ever smelt it dealt it! You got something to hide?

do gang-members know other gang-members' entries?

?
10/19/2006 02:12:33 PM · #18
Site Council can't investigate anybody's voting behaviour. Only drew/langdon can do that.

If anyone has proof, evidence, not just suspicions or hearsay, of these accusations, please send it to langdon/drew or SC and it WILL BE LOOKED INTO.
