december voting
This month it was hard for me, there were many submissions of votings, which could not be counted as valid. From nearly 200 submissions there were just some more than 100 which could be counted. Double votings from same email or IP, mass mailings from same IP range and proxy in a small period are only some aspects i had to put my eyes on. Actually i do not find a better solution to handle this contest. I would really appreciate if one of the module devs will help to create a module to organize and handle such a contest. Why i’m not using a poll modul?
It would be far too easy to manipulate if it is available without being a registered user on xoopsfactory. Tools to hide, switch and mask IP are free available for us and the rest is our fantasy in creating names and email adresses.
Perhaps i will consider to make this voting available for registered users only and, in addition, make a second check by hand as we are doing it actually but the goal was to make the contest as open as possible.
Another idea is to have not only one category for a great site will never ever have a chance against a community page. Ideas and input is welcome.
The results will be published soon.
