I thought i open up a topic for further discussion.
I remember the time when we had a chat a few months back at ASW about people vote as a new thing at IAPLC.
I loved the idea as it looked like a nation vs nation thing or celebrities vs celeb battle. Which seemed like a fun who can get the best support at his back to win people vote without any influence on ranking.
However partially as an IT guy this always pops up an issue. How they protect the results from cheating. There are mainly poor protection or no protection at all for this.
Meanwhile judging cards will be visible for the best one, we will never know if there was an IP cheat on the contest. Maybe this is not that serious at all. Maybe ADA let it this way. They may be happy that they see large numbers at the voting.
But if you think abut that, the whole live streaming were watched around 1000-2000 people worldwide at the party day. We knew this is a nichie hobby at all.
Tens of thousands vote for a single scape seems pretty unrealilstic.
As it usually happens not only 1 guy do this. There were more of them. The numbers talks for itself.
The total people vote is 176864 votes for 200 tanks.
The top 10 tank got 106378 vote from this
The other 190 tank only got 70486
From 20th there were only 1400 vote per scape
30th 1000 vote per scape
50th 500 per scape
etc..
So the top one got nearly 16 times more than the 20th.
Its not the fault of the people it is the system itself. People vote would be fun or would be a democratic way to select the best one. But it is more of a hack
So i am thinking about that. Are there any reason to do these voting? Is this really add anything to any contest?
Or if they let it out only for page load and clicks then is it really something what need to be mentioned as an achievment?
Thanks ADA that people vote only can be added to the preselected top 200 tank otherwise we may would seen funny stuff too. Now a very nice tank won the voting. But this does not change the fact, the voting they had it was not good.
Since ADA removed the page already you only can find the cached one from google.
