Just a reminder that the deadline for voting is 9pm tonight (UK time) - which is about 13 hours from the time stamp on this post.
What happened?
The vote totals changed radically.
It looks like the poll somehow changed from three votes per person to one vote per person.
Massive voter fraud, I tell ya!
@TwoCarrotSnowman stole the election!
Yeah, this thing is rigged! Rigged, I tells ya! The most rigged and unfair photo competition in the history of the world!
It seems like the next theme should be “witch hunt”, no, better “WITCH HUNT!” but I bet the winner imposes something different and denies any involvement. You’ll see, mark my words! It’s always the same with them unfair riggin’ bandits.
You need to extend the deadline! I can’t remember who I voted for and I am at work for the next 12 hours(1) and cannot see the photos to reestablish my votes!!!
(1) OK not all those hours are at work, some are driving slooowwwwwlllly on the freeway to get home…
I got more votes than any photo in history!
Welp. I’ve no idea what happened there. The poll states 22 voters and 24 votes which clearly can’t be right, since it should enforce three votes each.
I’ve just had a look at my own votes (I only voted earlier today), and as @WildaBeast notes it only seems to have recorded one of my three votes. I haven’t changed any settings (and I don’t think I could even if I wanted to - we’re well outside the edit window, and I can’t even see the poll settings now).
Having had a play, it seems I can still submit two other choices and vote.
I’ll report the poll post to the mods on the off-chance they can see something we can’t. I’m wondering if there was maybe a software update that reset the vote parameters or something.
I’ll leave the poll open for a couple of days at least while people revote.
To be fair, we made it half a year without a major voting scandal
It’s just let me submit my three choices, so all I can suggest is that people re-submit.
Same here; it looks like two of my three votes got erased. I went back and re-voted (I’m pretty sure I remember who I voted for the first time), and it looks like recorded all three of them this time.
I’ve flagged the poll to the mods to see if they can shed any light. In the meantime, I’ll leave the poll open until at least 9pm UK time on Wednesday 28th (about 48 hours from now) - please everyone resubmit your votes. Thank you and sorry for the confusion (which I’m fairly sure isn’t my fault for once…)
The competition most definitely not rigged, and in the spirit of sportsmanship I’d like to congratulate next month’s runners up @WildaBeast @Mean_Mr.Mustard @snowthx and @Pardel-Lux
For some reason, I cannot re-vote to add my two other votes. The “Vote Now!” button is grayed-out for me. Is there some trick to get it to allow me to vote again?
First click on the “X Show Vote” button, then you can recast your vote. At least that did it for me. (The X is the closed eye symbol)
That worked! Thanks!
Thank you, Snowman!
I think this do-over has been very unfair to @Zyada.
She was clearly in the lead the first time, and is barely on the board this time around.
Good point. Last time I checked the standings, she had it by a landslide.
