It looks like the first to make its place always safety has appeared
I dunno, if the "Accel World" faction could do this, why not the other factions.
And you know what's worse about this? There's 3 weeks left to this...

Again, a dilemma as we saw in the previous edition of the poll is that if we leave it such that only members can vote, we'll end up with multiple spam accounts as well...which was probably what happened last week. (Not blaming our members, but honestly...)

At least the spam account take a little bit of time and effort to create. Currently all someone has to do is just delete cookies on this board which is easy to do.

Spammers, or no spammers. The final word belongs to Code-Zero.

The point of the poll was to see what people want, but the same people turned it in to a circus. And as I said before the base line was established before the first row of guest or/and spamers.

Yea, I actually wanted to suggest allowing only those non-new-users(non-pinks) vote, but that might encourage spamming.

although, i guess that would actually solve the issue of bots/spams, after tht you could perhaps just lock the thread for others (if thats possible >>)

Unfortunately, time doesn't say much, we can't have bots camping till the time period expires.
I don't think the polls settings wouldn't be change anytime soon also.

fair enough ^^

so, whats the course of action then? since there aren't any plans on changing the poll setting anytime soon, and i doubt restarting the poll here again will fix the issue >>

teh_pings idea of facebook, might work, but then the same situation could arise, with people getting others 2 spam for them or creating multiple accounts themselves >>

seems like nom@ns kindness came back and bit him i suppose? ^^ (not that im complaining, it was nice of him to allow for a poll...)

Maybe we can let the pinkies vote but make it where they have to have had at least 1 post made that was approved but i don't think we could actually get that to work without a lot of extra work involved which seems kinda useless. I still think at least making it registered users only is better than current though.

... Vote spamming is the poll's last twist, huh? This is stupid, but we can't help it...

I guess that the legit popular choices are Hagure, AW, ONnY, Mismarca, STnBD and maybe Vanadis.

I think people are really over thinking this.

The purpose of this poll is to get a survey of what series people were interested in, so as far as that's concerned, the objective is accomplished.
What remains is simply Code-Zero's and perhaps Teh_Ping's decisions on what they want to pick.

In this case, it's not like the exact numbers matter or the most popular choice wins.

Of course, people are welcome to problem solve in anticipation of future polls, but getting indignant and worrying over this particular one is just pointless.

hmmm... you shut me up good ^^

although, discussing a solution now would be better then to leave it until another situation akin is to arise >>
