So what you’re saying is… there was a distinct lack of sanity?

Oldspinner was like a week or two away from being in the year or over category. Timing of the comp was on his side for sure. :wink:

So…

Some people have registered two votes for the same person on their voting. This is despite the text available at the top of the poll:

“The polling tool will not warn you if you pick the same username twice. Please make one unique selection per question so that your answers are not disqualified.”

I do not want to disqualify answers. However, there’s no need to delete your answers either if you get to me in time. :wink: I can edit your submitted answer to reflect THREE UNIQUE CHOICES.

–

I hate to be picky, but it’s the only way to trust the weighting of votes. A person with the same vote in 2nd and 3rd gets the same amount of points as the single person in first. A person with 1st and either 2nd or 3rd gets an inordinate amount of “points” towards their vote.

I’m pretty sure that people are doing this either by accident or in good faith (they really just want to pull for someone they think is super-deserving!) so it’s not like I think anybody out there is a cheater-head or anything. :wink: But I do ask that you get in touch with me.

I will probably drop PMs to people when I see it happening as well, because maybe you did it totes by accident and don’t realize that you did it.

Thanks!
