I agree that TMC's system is a big pain in the butt.
It's tempting to say that the simple fix would be to whap one of the offending games with a rolled up newspaper when the data suggests a problem. But the flaw there is you don't want, say, an unscrupulous person writing a bot that votes obnoxiously for their favorite game's competition.
You can, of course, restrict IPs that the bots came from, but those tend to be pretty mobile.
Ultimately, a TMC system probably blocks bots very effectively, but it probably cuts their traffic by a sizable fraction. It might not be in Synozeer's interest to do that, unless he thought that the extra list integrity would draw in more people (who might think voting at present isn't worth it).
