Re: Voting Captcha

It would appear one of the MUDs that was always high in the rankings then dropped after Captcha was added figured it out this month and adjusted their methods.

TMS and all similar voting sites function as a traffic exchange. MUDs send players here to vote for them which gives other MUDs some exposure to other players. The games sending the most people here are featured more highly and, in theory, bring the most eyeballs to other MUDs. When a game automates the vote to the point that nobody has to look at the site, that is cheating even if it still has to be initiated manually.

This is taken directly from the Gemstone IV forum:
