Dear refreshers, bug is fixed.

There were a bunch of people who were just clicking "refresh" after they voted for themselves and it gave them another vote. They would keep clicking it and clicking it and clicking it.....and it gave them more and more votes each time they refreshed their page.

We wiped all these votes out. We made it so each IP address was only allowed 1 vote. This technical bug was our fault so we didn't disqualify anyone on this particular issue. Moving forward, if we find that a single IP address receives a substantial amount of votes or a lot of votes in a short period of time....you will be disqualified. It's that simple. Again, cheaters are not welcome here.

How does my family each vote for me if we only have one computer at home? How do I get the votes from those people who want to vote for me but who are restricted by the number of available computers and IP addresses. Everyone does not have their own computer.

I feel like I'm asking you guys way too many questions, but my friends have a bunch of questions. Like you said, I want to make sure they know all the rules.

If my friend doesn't make an account, can they only vote on the same computer once total during the whole week of the first round?

Kim Pearson:

To Kirk - Nope, they can vote once every day on the same computer. The trouble is, if they vote at school where most computers share similar IP addresses, only one vote will be counted from the shared IP address per day.
