But that's all more effort for Andrew. Why should he make the effort for people wanting to cheat? He never intended the poll to be taken seriously. The fact that some ADOM and ToME fans took it so seriously as to make bots to cheat shows a problem with them, not with the poll.Crim, The Red Thunder wrote:Something as simple as one vote (per category) per IP would be easy, and make it more challenging (not impossible) to cheat.
So would captchas, or requiring some form of account be produced, or some combination of the above.

If he never intended the poll to be taken seriously, then it's perfectly fine that the poll had none of the above protections against voter fraud. It would be a different matter of Andrew wanted this to be a serious poll; in that case, if he's not safeguarding the poll from bots and cheaters, it's on him.Grey wrote:But that's all more effort for Andrew.

If he takes it not seriously he really should not call people cheaters ...

When I click on the OP link, it takes me to a page that tells me where the page down button is. Did the real page change or something? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with this topic at all.
