Re: Lets Talk about Voting - Shall we?
Hmm, you changed the post, what I came to reply to was:
Late 2003 was the first time I found TMS and I don't recall mud-wide rewards ever being allowed. Maybe they were some time before that.
As for those other MUDs that may be cheating, I had thought proxies were already taken care of. Perhaps something will show up there, but I've googled many random IPs from certain MUDs (and one in particular) and found nothing. Referrals looks normal (not all from a pay-per-post site etc). There's other things to look for, but going into detail is like publishing a guide to working around them.
Thinking someone might be cheating and proving it are two different things. If you and I were in a bar having this conversation completely off the record I'd have probably used some stronger terms, obviously I have to tread carefully here.
So the status is that to you they're "clearly cheating", to me their voting activity compared to numbers online looks worth a more detailed look and certainly is suspicious, but I can't just remove them based on that.
