I am (well, was) a player at the MUD in question, and I believe the reviewer was referring to a long wait when you login, which is removed once you vote, not a 'fudge' of dice rolls or anything of that nature.
I have shown the head coder my concern for rule breaking. He claims he has already written to the administrator of this site and is awaiting a reply on the issue. In his view he is not breaking any of the rules. He claims he does not force people to vote - just click on the link to the voting page at TopMudSites - and people are free to decline to vote once there.
As for the wording of the rule, might I suggest something along the lines of:
"Gameplay must be the same for voting and non-voting players"
or
"MUDs cannot track votes for the purposes of affecting gameplay"
