Self-Generated Admin Votes

Unread post by krubby »

I was just wondering if it's possible to just make a bunch of accounts then give yourself admin votes, and if you can, whether something can be done to fix it.

People have accused one and another of admin voting themselves by making several accounts. Never been proven. Not exactly sure if it'd work. As I recall, The place keeps track of your IP Address.

Votes don't matter anyways. They're like reputation points to me

He didn't need votes, He just wrote a letter regarding him receiving admin powers.

50 is a bit overkill isn't it, considering you only need 5 or 6 more?
