Actually, Threshold wrote the following on page 6:
For quite some time, there was *no* TMS vote link anywhere on his site. Not on the forums. Not on the front page. Nowhere. He got reported for this by one of his own players who visited TMS. At that time, other TMS folks logged in to MM and ask players if they knew about voting. Nobody did. So MM was getting hundreds of votes per day with no vote link, and the players of the game had no idea what "voting" was. The punishment for that first incident was a warning and he was forced to actually put a vote link on his site.
There was a time when MM put a voting button up after people began pressuring them. Of course you can find it in web archives, and of course you remember pushing it. What you don't remember is the previous period of time where people here noticed MM's voting patterns when no button was present. Vassago's own email paper trail damns him there, especially Adam's log from 4/04 where no one on MM seems to know what a TMS voting button is.
Of course, Threshold explained this to you on page 7, but you keep missing that point.
Vassago even tried to explain that the "step pattern" voting was normal for any game:
"I don't have the time to investigate or graph the other games' voting records, but I can guarantee you that if someone gets close to them they suddenly jump up as soon as one of their admins realizes it."
Sadly, someone on TMS took the initiative to graph votes vs. time for multiple games, and only MM had the "step pattern". Oops.
