I have officially had it with IAO.com

Apparently, some weasely little pr*ck invested in a web bot and is cheating by pushing Charisma's votes up into the stratosphere. At 11:45 AM, she was at 44.05%, less than ten minutes later, she was bumped up to 45.21%, which in her case would be between 400-500 votes in that amount of time, and one hour later it happened again, which is more than 40-50 votes a minute.

Someone tried a similar approach to bump Stone Cold Steve Austin's vote way down, and as a result, the voter was banned and Austin's page was disconnected from the site, so now noone can vote for him in any way.

What's the point of voting if some moron is gonna cheat to manipulate the votes?

I know I hate when people do that! Especially as the outcome of this poll is crucial to every important decision that ever needs to be made!

Abusing font colours IS fun...

Er, you've hit the nail on the head why internet voting is a waste of time and pointless. People always cheat, thus rendering any vote of any type totally useless.

People will still do it, but I think slowly the more sane are realising just how silly it is.

Of course I don't include polls such as ones that are put up on boards like ST from time to time, but the more public boards that anyone can visit and manipulate the voting.

Casey McCall does it to Dan Rydell (inflate his numbers in an internet poll) in an epsiode of 'Sports Night' that aired sometime before Y2K.

Boy you were fast. I was editing that . . .

Yes. Rydell. Get the DVDs people. They're timeless. (BTW which Rebecca hair color did you prefer, red or blonde? And what's the deal with Teri Polo anyway? She looks younger now than in 2000. Was it the suits?)

The darker hair, definitely. The blonde washed her face out.

I agree. The red said 'she's worth persuing.' The blonde said 'guest blonde of the week.' Anyway, my signature is a part of what in my opinion is the best Sorkin (he has 3rd writing credit - I'm betting it was for this contribution) 'walk and talk' of all time. It is timeless. (and I always resented 'West Wing' because it was the real reason SN got cancelled. Sorkin couldn't do both, no matter how many drugs he tried - and he tried many, writing SN on Tues/Thurs and WW on M/W/F. I think SHO or HBO wanted it at one point after ABC cancelled).

But back to the site. I think it's fielding, or some fellow traveller, and I think it's because of us. SOMEONE is trying to rile strangers.

Morrigan still hasn't told me how Spike beats up the guy on the mega speed on Cowboy Bepop #1.

This thread can't hold my attention, sorry.

Can people submit candidates? Because if you go on and submit "Prima's Mom", I'll go and vote annoying just out of solidarity.

Come to think of it, I'd love to put a few people on there myself.
