Rich indicated he thought he had figured out a way to detect the 'rotating ip' cheat; so perhaps we'll be back up sooner than later. Now I guess he 'just' needs to code it up.

Hi,

Its been a long while since I posted, but I never miss my min 4 votes a day 6 or more if possible.

I was totally aghast when it was closed to someone potentially cheating and when they mentioned firefly cheating, I was so stunned, please let it not be true. I can't believe any browncoat cheating.

Nope, wasn't us.

Lexx has had a long-standing (well, I dunno how long, exactly, but, it was news to me a month after I'd been voting) vote-trade deal with several shows, among them Firefly. Okay, if you go for that sorta thing.

Rich Labonte of TV Vote became aware of a Lexx fan board thread which, well... kinda bragged about an automated vote-bot they developed, back in March. It would vote every hour, around the clock, without human intervention. It came in two flavors: Lexx, and, Lexx plus everyone else in their voting block, including Firefly.

Problem was, nobody but a few Lexxians even knew about it. However, Rich determined that it had apparently never been successfully used to generate invalid votes for any show. He did find another kind of cheat while investigating Lexx, so, he's adjusting the scores, setting up a safeguard, presumably, against the new cheat, and, we'll all be up and running this weekend.

Read both threads before you panic; we ARE gonna rise again.

So, lock and load, and, be ready to jump outta the trenches atta full charge when Rich says it's time to vote, again!

We have a 1k+ votes/day record to build upon, and, we don't want this little lull in the action to cut it short.

Keep her flyin'!

"Those who do not vote - no matter how loud they scream - say nothing."

"I can't vote!" he screamed loudly, saying nothing.

Is it the weekend, yet?

More Rankopedia Polls (courtesy of MySerenity and yours, truly):

Best Canadian Actress (Jewel Staite - 8)
Coolest Man Alive (Nathan Fillion - 12)
Most Desirable Man Alive (Nathan Fillion - 9)
Best 'Firefly' Episode Ever
Best Scifi Channel Show (Firefly - 2)
Best TV Show Producer (Joss Whedon - 1)
Best soundtrack ever (Serenity - 8)
Best Movie based on a TV Show (Serenity - 5)


Here are yet more Polls to vote:

Other A&E

Most Heroic Character Ever.

Celebrities

Most desirable woman in the world
Hottest celebrity (female)
Hottest TV Actress
Hottest Brunette Celebrity
Best Celebrity Legs (Female)
Best Innocent to Sexy Transition
Coolest Celebrity Name

I have seen confirmation that Rankopedia changed their rules, probably at the same time as they required registration to vote, so that you can only vote once on a poll, though you can change your vote with another vote. Gorram lot of grandfathered X-Files votes that got to stay.

So, let's support our 'Verse! If you find a Poll to which it would be appropriate to add candidates from our BDS, BDM, or, BDHs (including supporting cast like Adelai Niska (Michael Fairman), Saffron (Christina Hendricks), or Badger (Mark Sheppard), for example), add 'em and list the Poll here, please, including in what category it can be found. Of course, you can also use the "Search" window at the top of the page to find a poll, too.
