Baller Than_Bogan Posted January 8, 2014 Baller Share Posted January 8, 2014 Congrats to her! And thanks for the heads-up. The little blurbs under each athlete are a little lame (for all of the nominees). I think I'd use more enthusiastic words to describe Regina's total dominance in 2013.

klindy Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I'm not sure how long the voting is open but you can submit one vote per day per device. But also vote once per browser and, it appears, once again if you get on another network. I was able to vote once today on my laptop on my home connection and again tonight at a hotel. Likewise, IE, Chrome and Firefox all allowed a vote to be cast. 24 hours later you can do it all again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Than_Bogan Posted January 16, 2014 Baller Share Posted January 16, 2014 Well drat -- I just figured out how to defeat the repeat-voting-prevention (without any special software). As much as I'd love to just vote like a maniac, I think it is my clear moral obligation to inform the website of this deficiency, which I strongly suspect will require that they change their implementation (which may be hard) and then start the polling over again. (There's a tiny chance that they DO prevent the duplication on their end, but it sure looks like I can vote however many times I want.) Sorry to be the cause of this pain, but frankly it isn't very hard, so my best guess is that somebody else already found this loophole, in which case the voting is totally bogus. I'll let everyone know if I get any response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted January 16, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted January 16, 2014 I hope the IWGA does not find this thread.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Than_Bogan Posted January 16, 2014 Baller Share Posted January 16, 2014 Wow, VERY disappointing response. They admitted the deficiency and basically are relying on people to be honest, along with a vague threat to disqualify contenders if they detect obvious abuse. I'd like to publish the exact text of the response here, but I think that would be inappropriate, since the natural assumption in sending it to me would be that I am NOT going to publish it to the entire world. I don't really know how to react to that. I think I may have to stop voting entirely because I can't understand the line between legitimate re-voting and abuse.

Baller Than_Bogan Posted January 16, 2014 Baller Share Posted January 16, 2014 @MattP Clear moral obligation to expose any exploit rather than use it. But this is definitely a case where doing the right thing hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller DW Posted January 16, 2014 Baller Share Posted January 16, 2014 When on the site, may as well go vote the team poll as there is a US team to vote for, or your particularly country of interest. @Than: could your response be a language issue, I could see if english not a primary language for the writer, the verbiage can and often does come across oddly.

ampacdan Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (From the SUMO forum)(Naranbat is going to be tough to beat)Assuming you have other people in your household or a tribe of Mongolian relatives inside your Ger (tent) you can also vote daily from different computers or mobile phones and also from different browsers such as Explorer, Chrome, Firefox and whatever they use on those overrated misanthropist designed Iphones that turn pedestrians into zombies because they have to squint at the tiny screens which are designed to break easily. Of course the IFS does not condone any sort of voting yaocho but the site does encourage daily voting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
