Bot Contest

So how is the voting system supposed to prevent people from casting multiple ballots? I've only voted once, but every time I visit the site it asks me to vote again.

I voted once, and I can't see the scores because it asks me to vote again.

ooh, scratch that, "You have already voted, Your last vote was not added to the results"

so that pretty much covers it.

I bet it wouldn't know that in my case, though. Because I use public computers.

ah. Just be sure to vote for the right bots then jk lol

I use a home computer and I've been able to vote 2 time's.was I not suppose to.I was going to go back and do it some more.

Just Joking,but I was able to vote more then once.for the same bots.

Obviously there are loop holes in any voting system. History has shown however the more safeguards you put in (cookies, voter registering, confirming valid e-mails, etc) the less likely people will vote. There are safeguards in place to detect voting fraud but I wouldn't mention them publically for obvious reasons.

I've been able to vote 3 times. (All from my home computer...)

CC--
I can think of a few obvious systems for detecting fraud in the new 5-vote system, maybe I'll email you later so you can see if they're not being used already

erm I think you meant the Bug Stomp or AI engine forum I know, it's easy to click elsewhere I've done it before

Err. Yes!!

And here I thought the Forge had swallowed my post!

(I was waiting for my post to appear in Bug Stomp.)

/fixes/

I've just thought of something... how are the botmasters going to vote for the two bots to go into the finals? Will it be using email? (I accidentally misspelled mine :o)

maybe people clear their cache, clear their cookies, don't have static ip e.t.c
