If the fake accounts are from bots or fake emails, you are right.

However, if the accounts are duplicates, the email connected to the account would also be attached to legitimate account, which could be harassed.

I see why they aren’t releasing the votes, but I disagree with it.

… Well I didn’t expect this from you, but hot dang, this is interesting information.

No one is asking them to reveal anyone’s e-mail addresses or IPs. Just the usernames whose votes were removed and a general statement as to the criteria that decided it.
Edit to add: Don’t forget, the usernames of everyone who voted in the poll are available in the poll itself. Revealing these usernames of whose votes were removed would not give us information that was unavailable before.

Just in case there’s anyone who doesn’t believe that someone could have created up to 71 fake accounts to influence a poll of this magnitude…someone already did it. In the 80s. And thus Jason Todd died.

TTV, however, seems to feel very strongly that they cannot do this. If we assume good faith as to why that is, then I imagine it’s at least somewhat tied to the vetting process, in which case it is still the vetting process that is the issue.

But if TTV changed their minds about revealing the removed voters, and everyone who voted with #6 was indeed satisfied with this, then yes, I guess that would be a superior way to handle things.

It seems the vote here was very exclusive of non Forum Fans

Luckily i saw the notification you sent me and replied, whould i have been another ā€œbotvoteā€ if not?

You cant really expect people to check their account on a Website every day. So you really took the votes from new account on your website and deleted them?
After they read your board for 35 minutes (generating revenue)
because they couldnt respond in 15 hours?

This is realy the worst experience i had on a forum in years
What is this fandom

Congratulations! Now I want to build the winner lol

Well glad to know these contests are rigged or skewed to what wants to win by the people running them.

It’s easy to throw dirt at RSG with their less than perfect history, but if you have actual proof of this occurring/who was involved, you have a strong case not only for more dangerous vote influencing, but also substantial reason for the ā€œcouncilā€ to be disbanded.

I found one screengrab floating around. Note, language warning and I can’t personally verify the validity of this. If someone knows how to blur a pic out before clicking, lemme know so I can dump it.

Literally just use MS Paint and squiggle over the text with the brush tool to a degree where it’s unreadable. Doesn’t look fancy, but it doesn’t have to.

This comment is sure to get buried swiftly, but I just wanted to congratulate @TheUnderscoredDouble for winning the contest!

…Is it just me, or did Vahkiti just get cancelled?

I’m kind of out of the loop. Who is Vahkiti? A Council member?

Am I correct to interpret this as a Council member confirming that they were willing to let Hoseryx win?
