Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tharivious_Meliamne" data-source="post: 2565122">I'm more concerned with blatant multi-votes being allowed to stand, honestly.  The votes that do have matching IP addresses and that were voted in rapid succession from the same IP and are quite obviously something that should result in null votes.  As I said, Forgotten Realms is clearly in an unfair advantage situation right now, and unless we are assured somehow that multiple votes will be nullified in an impartial manner, meaning any and all secondary, (tertiary, etc...) votes that possess a matching IP or matching registry email are disqualified until each person's vote is counted once.This is entirely within the bounds of board's software, even InvisionFree's free service allows for this ability with Administrator access, so it should certainly be feasable on paid-for VBulletin access.  I don't see how personal human opinion can be factored into something when there are matching IP addresses and matching email addresses involved as hard evidence, even if such immature approaches are taken on multiple sides of the vote.  I would prefer to know in advance that the votes will be determined in the strictest manner possible in negating a skewed result, as this is a poll that all of the ISRP community will have to live with, not just a few players with dubious morals regarding the use of an anonymous poll.I just want to be assured that these sorts of votes are dealt with in a proper manner, and that the actual vote of the masses is the one that is finalized, and that Sigil, which is quite clearly the other front runner in this vote, is given a fair and impartial treatment in the final handling of this poll after already coming so far to even be placed on the ballot.  The votes don't need to made public, but the result does need to be adjudicated from an impartial standpoint.I don't mean to sound overzealous about this, so forgive me if I do, but I feel that this is too important an issue.  I recall on previous polls that matching IP addresses and email addresses were negated entirely, removing even that person's original vote.  All I ask is that each voice is counted once, and only once, in the interest of fairness to one and all, and to all settings involved.</blockquote>
