I think you're missing the point. "The Mud community" doesn't vote. People vote for individual games, largely based on how much effort the administration of a MUD puts into motivating people to vote. The rankings lists have nothing to do with what the best MUDs are. They are traffic exchanges.
MUD A sends traffic to TMS by encouraging its players to vote.
MUD A gets traffic back from TMS, somewhat in proportion to how much traffic it sends.
TMS sells that traffic to advertisers.
I'm unsure how you could take a few sites doing that and turn it into a list of "the top 10 from the perspective of the entire MUDing community." The two most popular MUDs in the text MUD world don't even actively participate in the rankings lists.
