TDC is full of cocks who sign up with multiple new accounts just to vote on their own game, so what needs to be added is a filter that stops anyone who hasn't been here for more than, say, a week, or has less than a certain number of points, from entering the poll. Probably won't stop it completely but I bet it'd help.

please note that the last time there was cheating, it was to stop the ridiculously stupid idea of circy's to put the same game, different version in the running yet again. The reason? "It deserves a second chance." Apparently even games that succeeded in their FIRST chance still get seccond ones! You learn something new everyday.
yea, but u could still create all those extra accounts a week before u submit your game . Cheating is for losers that can't win anyway. Winning for real is much more satisfying than cheating and winning
Me too has a problem, Because when I get my game as an option to be voted, I just curious to know how many votes I got, But I can't vote for my game... I have to wait one week until I could discover!
What happens anyway if I vote my own game? Do I get an angry message or something? Do I get executed? Does cops knock on my door telling me I have to be in jail? Does voting my game is actually a secret button for getting a cherry flavored pie with choclate cream on top?
I just want to know what actually happen if I try to vote my on game for the Game Of The Week competition.
I also suggest you to make the result visable to the people that has a game of the week nomination or at least make a view results for people who don't want to vote, because I'm afraid of God and I'm basically afraid of anyone here and don't want to be blaimed for doing these horrible mistakes. Also, make alittle candy jar at the front of the page so visitor could chew something while they surf the site.
Um, you CAN vote for your own game in GOTW, that's not prohibited. It's only one vote anyway, and the GOTW poll has been getting many more votes lately.
Well, with my misguided views on christianity, i am completely sure that Wartagon is going to go to hell. Oh believe me he will.

You might be surprised at the lengths certain people go to in order to extend their 'fame' =P (or infamy, as it can turn out in the end).
Still, it is a good point. You see some of the wierdest/laziest/silliest usernames crop up in the 'new users' list every now and then, as if they've come straight out of a random generator =P. So...yeah, it's definitely a good thing that the GOTW voting gets checked.
By the way... I knew that you guys would take me as an example of cheating.
Damn! Oh my. Where can I find sanctuary from this oŽ cursed place? I feel so.. lost
Oh jesus christ, just leave him alone. He got caught, and apologized for it. Can we move on? It's not like he cheated in a political election or anything.
Yes I do. Of course I do. I made a thing that surley will screw my future reputation here at TDC. But as Shab said, I apologized for it and the results were restored to the original. Even if the admins woudn't have seen what I was doin and then correct it, I wouldn't have won anyways. Phizzy's sumbission was too popular for me to even cheat past it. So, please move on..
Don't worry, Wartagon. Everyone knows about it and nobody cares. Which indicates to me that either we're all hyper-forgiving or just about everyone else has had a go at cheating or at least thought about it. No problem. Group hug!
