GameSpot All Time Greatest Hero Poll Sabotaged by 4chan.org: MORE PROOF

The scumbags at 4chan.org continue to ruin GameSpot's All Time Greatest Hero Poll. This time they are using anonymous proxy servers to accomplish their goals. This unaltered image is a recent screen capture from the 4chan.org image board. It shows detailed instructions on how to use a proxy server to cast multiple votes. Certain users in this very topic have proudly claimed they have voted over 600 times.

Anyone with a basic knowledge of photoshop can prove this image is 100% legit. Also the technique described in this image works, further proving the poll is easily rigged.

The GameSpot staff knows about this problem and they continue to ignore it. Why? Because the whole contest is nothing more than a hit grab anyway. They just want the traffic spike and they dont care if the contest gets rigged. The more outrage there is the more hits they get. GameSpot is spitting in the face of its own users.

Why do you care so much? It's a pointless poll...

It's not just being done by 4chan either. It's being done by a number of sites. the video games section on 4chan is actually a very good place for discussion and a good laugh. It's nothing like what you probably think.

It's also not japanese, other sections are, however.

They want Little Mac to win, because cloud is overhyped.

Actually, I've been laughing at this for a few days now. When /b/ and /v/ gets involved into something, well...!

Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
