Checking if you're actually a user? How would that stop people from abusing voting?
From what I was told, Votifier is currently being used to log votes that are actually made via the 3 sites linked with Votifier, and at the end of the month, Optical counts the logged votes from top voters to check for cheated votes.
Well I know of a few people who won top voter without filling out one single capcha so I doubt this is how he does it. As far as I am aware we dont use votifier for anything, opti said he was working on it a few months back but i feel that's done with.
Yeah, well maybe at the time of being told that he was working on it. I still think Votifier is a good alternative and should be strongly considered.
Well you said you talked to nyssa when she was admin about it and I know for sure we dint use votifier in any single way back then. And it was strongly considered and approved, optical said he started to work on it back in December, that's the last I heard about it.

Just saying what I was told at the time. Don't you and Tobs technically run the server now? Perhaps you could talk to Optical about getting access to files, so you know, you can do things like this.

Ya that was also talked about a month ago, havnt heard anything since. But it is also a bit more difficult due to how he has our current voting system working.
