Innectis - Minecraft Server > Suggestions

Prevention of Voter Fraud

(1/2) > >>

Sciamancer:
For future major polls (such as mod elections) I suggest that some sort of forum app be installed/written so that only those who have had a registered account on innectis forums for two or more months (amount of time subject to change at admin decision) may vote. There have been certain allegations of bringing in new people simply to bribe them to vote, which may or may not be true. This modification to the voting system would stop cheating in major polls, and members who have been around for less than two months most likely do not really know most of the candidates and thus are almost certainly not informed enough to vote in the first place. Please consider this or something like it.

Another idea: I'd hate to silence the active and kind user population, but limiting votes to VIP+ would definitively stop the creation of new accounts just to vote, as no one would pay $5.00 per vote just to become an innectis moderator.

Caaaaarrrrlll:
Your VIP+ voting scheme is not possible.

Here's why:[*]In-game accounts and forum accounts are not linked together. (don't be fooled by your rank, remember how ryanteck asks everyone to PM him so he can set your rank?)
[*]The staff already said they would not link the accounts together based on username because of ambiguity.
[/list]

However, for your other clause, I agree with you except I believe the time should be much lower. Two weeks should do it. The staff always gives a week before they close the polls, so that gives enough time for the new users and no time for the users registered at the beginning of the poll.

ryanteck:
 Looking at roughly what your saying (I'm on my mobile)

We might be making a way to link forum accounts together.

On this it might be possible to make it so only linked minecraft accounts can vote / make it possible so it also uses the IDP database to see if the user is a guest or not.

At the moment VIP is done by me when people send me pms. I cba to go round and do it.

I'll look into this.

luetzj:
Can we have played time on innectis used? After a amount of time playing on innectis, you could vote. That way to get extra support, you would have to have people play for hours, or buy a minecraft account.

Eggnaug:
That actually is a great suggestion. This could possibly cooexitst with my Loyalty Rank suggestion.
