Gimme a break.. again I ask, why does EVERY post from me have to result in flames? If you must know, which it seems you do, Vryce and Synozeer did not agree on the rules of this site. Yes our ivote code went against the rules of this site, but it's the code we wished to use. They agreed to disagree and Vryce asked for Medievia to be removed from the voting list. Because this IS indeed Synozeer's site and his rules, Medievia was removed. Therefore, Medievia is no longer listed on the voting list. And as I stated before, I'm so glad for it.

Our ivote system is still being used for Mudconnector and our players are thankful for it because there is no more spam at all about voting. They have the prompt turned on or off, they vote if they want to, and no one is sending global echos anymore. Only the people who want to be reminded are reminded. The result has been a consistent #2 or 3 spot at Mudconnector and very few complaints from our players. No more spam or stress!

(Added this as an afterthought)
Of course you all are going to stick to your "Medievia was removed for cheating" stance and that is fine. I developed a thick skin to all this long ago and I know that the name Medievia is synonymous will all things bad on these sites. I just figured I'd finally tell you all how it really happened. Vryce and Synozeer shared several emails before our removal and again I will tell you that it was US who asked to be removed. We were not removed against our will etc etc. In the end, Synozeer is a pretty fair guy and gave us many chances to change our system. Vryce believes that to turn the ivote off by default would lead to even MORE spam to our players than just the ivote itself gives and we didn't want to have to spam echos AND have the ivote prompt to compete here. The result has been happier Medievia players and imms overall and to tell you the truth, although being at the top of the voting list here did send more players our way, we have not seen that much of a difference in new player creations since we removed ourselves. In fact, it seems that being at the top of TMC has had more of an affect than being at the top here.
