After voting in a poll, you can push back, then push the forum that you were in (the bar on the top of the page), click on the topic that you were previously in, then vote again. If done correctly, you can vote and vote and vote which mean incurrect data.

It has been reported. And, as far as I know, the web team is working on it to get this bug fixed.

I doubt it would be fixed. The voting system relies on cookies stored on your computer. Unfortunantly, they can be easily deleted and you'll be able to get around the system. A way around this would be to make a database to store who has voted in what poll, but that is just too inefficient for a site of this scale.

I got an idea. Let us announce this bug to everyone who didn't already know about in the form of a topic instead of e-mailing someone who can do something about it!

Why not have each poll keep track of who voted? It's not like member names take up much space...

thats just what i was about to say, save the e-mail and/or account name of who voted, thats what most websites do atleast, now ppl can still vota more then once still of course, but will have to create a whole new account and/or e-mail address, which would be to annoying for most to even do,

Good idea, but member numbers take up less space Mr. #1,792,524.

Most people know if this bug. Besides the fact that the polls don't really mean anything, so unless you are really looking for the true feelings of the population on, say, shaving utensils, then I don't think it matters that he brought this for the whole world to see.

No, we're not going to fix it. Resolved Won't Fix a long time ago - the polls are meant to be fun, and are not statistically accurate or reliable (which is why people pointing a poll here as evidence of their opinion being right are crazy).

anyone who's played more than you has no life

anyone who's played less than you is a noob

Is there any value of the data within the "voting booth" forum then?
