MOT M voting

[old git]

i have a problem for the last 3 games i have been unable to post a vote every time i try it tells me that i have already voted for the particular game in question or is somebody using my vote ?????????????

[*Keith*]

I had this problem once when I looked at the latest results before trying to cast my vote. Not had this problem when I vote first and then look at how the votes have gone.

The problem may be that AOL only has a limited number of Ip addresses, and that someone has already voted using the IP address that you used when you tried to vote.

 

Unfortunately the only way to prevent somebody giving unlimited votes to one player is to record the IP address and stop that address from voting again

[old git]

sounds good but way over my head how can somebody vote from my ip address and is there any way we can prevent this happening again because you are not getting a true count

[David Holden]

Short answer is no but it is a truer count than having no restrictions.

[old git]

can the votes be cheecked by e-mail address so we can see if somebody is multi voting

[David Holden]

Nope!

 

One the program does cater for it and Two I currently have about 15 e-mail addresses, so I can just decide the winner without the bother of an election.

Having cast my vote I then vent to see how that compared with other voters.

 

Considering the number of players who had good games, I was quite surprised to see someone had voted for Ben Walshe!! That is going some for a bloke who only played about a quarter of the game to be nominated for Man of the Match!!

[David Holden]

Perhaps it was his mum <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[smithyman]

Or do the players vote for themselves?

[chilled out entertainer]

Duku should,cos its te only votes he'll get!

[Jeff]

Agreed.

Francis was very nervy in the second half.

[smithyman]

After the suggestion Ben's mum had voted for him, I see Ben has now voted for himself as well and having read this thread Francis has voted for himself too.
