Here Samildanach, THIS is what i’m talking about. about 8 or 9 submissions were all pretty even for the first 5-6 hours, all between 5-10 points (the one with 10 points was actually eliminated, and it was one of the few good ones)

this is what happens when bumholes are on the loose at 2am.

And… you don’t think that’s the result of a concerted effort? You think a bunch of people all chose to randomly spam upvote that one particular entry? It wasn’t even the crappiest entry I saw.

If by “spam upvoting” you actually meant a coordinated effort to rig the election… You can’t really stop male reproductive organheads from upvoting crappy ideas and still allow voting. The rules may say there’s no collusion or klan voting, but someone is always going to be trying to get around it, and no real way to stop them.

You can, however, stop them from essentially doubling their impact by upvoting their target and downvoting all the competitors. Again, if suggestions can’t be eliminated, they can’t trash the whole thing to get their choice canonized or just screw the system.

If the worst they can do is equivalent to not voting at all, disrupting the process is a lot harder.
