| LegitHyperbole said: I figure the front page polling works differently on the front page here than a thread since it allows for multiple polling it must be something to do with IP addresses not being static anymore and allows for multiple polling of the same person, it also doesn't seem to be account locked. Not really a great way to poll to be fair. |
I doubt that duplicate votes will play a noteworthy role here. The major difference that a frontpage poll makes is that the amount of votes will be at least ten times higher than a thread poll by default, because the amount of visitors is much higher than the amount of active forum members. So seeing hundreds of votes instead of only dozens doesn't mean that there's manipulation going on, it's just the natural result of the much greater exposure that any frontpage poll enjoys.
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.
