Publishing contest votes

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Publishing contest votes

Post by Curtis »

People who are trying to vote for me are saying that the process is very tedious. They say they have to create a username and password and go around in circles back and forth to their email to verify info. No one wants to vote if the process is that tedious. Is there any way to vote without joining the site ???

Unfortunately, there is not.

If there was no verification process, or too simple of a process, anyone could win the contest simply by voting for themselves over and over again.

I'm sorry for that.

On the bright side, the process shouldn't be too tedious.
  • 1. Registering is quick and easy. One just chooses a username and password to go with their email address.

    2. Then they click vote button.

    3. Then they click the link in the email to verify the vote.
In a sense, it is only tedious enough to prevent fake votes.

Thank you for your feedback. :)
