[Enjin Archive] About "faking" votes
Started by [E] sawine

Yield kinda said it weird but he was saying that like... He can't do much about it and that he was really only bumping the thread(I think). That is why your input is still valued.
Perhaps I did not word it in the best possible way (I do not have good grammar, by any means). The point I was trying to make was that there are people that 'proxy-vote' for others. Or in other words, log into the voting site and click all their links without even attempting the capchas (which prevents members from illegitimately voting for the server). Your statement just repeated what the last 4 pages of this thread have said. I read it as you knowing absolutely what I was talking about I took it as an insult to my personal competence to read the entire thread. I'm sorry if you took offence at my reply, I tried to write it respectfully anyway.
There's another site that regularly throws an sql error when the server has too many connections (one of the german sites, I believe).

If you get this error: simply reload (and reload a 2nd or 3rd time). It has always eventually worked for me. It's also possible that many people here don't see this error, due to time zones.

As an aside, minelist.net appears to be no longer suspended. I guess they must have paid their tab <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f642.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":-)">:-)</object>

Please don't make such a broad accusation / speculation without any proof; it's hurtful to people who take time out of their day, twice a day, almost everyday for months, filling out hundreds of CAPTCHAs per month to support Minetown with votes on top sites.
Agreed, Tomcort...

Some real fools we got here.
it takes very little time to fill the captchas out. Personally i find the easiest way is to go down the list anc click them all into new windows. then just plug through them. takes very little time and helps the server.
At the end of the day Minetown should be in the top 10 in most of those voting sites but because a lot of you are not voting correctly we are in 20th place and lower.

You're letting the server down when you dont fill those captchas out, dont ever think 'oh its only one vote it wont hurt' because every vote counts and that one vote could determine if we're one place higher.

We heavily rely on your votes as we don't spoof any of our votes unlike some other servers do *cough* LC *cough* so please vote properly.

Takes me all of 2 or 3 minutes to do them all, lol.
we'd probably have some different top voters. Because the usual ones are going to have a hard time writing a bot to fill out captchas
