AlphaBit, I just wanna ask, are you filtering your mail from the voting
form into a different folder?

If so, you won't catch mine since the subject will be different. The
subject on mine is "Form Post From Mozilla".

I've been talking to a couple of people and we're having problems submitting
the forms... using our e-mail reader is rediculous in the first place, but
the fact that you're allowing people to just e-mail in the information
defeats the purpose of us sending through a pop3 e-mail address. Submission
by e-mail is not good because anyone can spoof headers and from addresses
and mass mail you their votes. I'd suggest a webpage next time which will
count and total votes for you, and than set a cookie on their computer,
store their IP, and ISP on the server and try and keep them from re-voting.
This would slightly more... un-cheatable. (I didn't say cheat proof.)

Or we need to talk AW into giving you some space on their webserver and we
cast votes exactly like we do for the feature vote which would prevent any
problems (because users need passwords to vote.)

Yes and I have a feeling the recipient of the forms is expecting them as
if they come from IE and OE. I never use IE and have uninstalled OE. So
the subject will be different.

Nope...not filtering.
What I do is check the emails and move the vote ones to the voting folder
(after Iv'e made sure votes came through),to talley.
Then from that folder they go to the "tallied votes" folder (after I have
recorded them in an Excel spreadsheet).
"Form Post From Mozilla" is how they all come in:)

mine had the subject "Form posted from Microsoft Internet Explorer." idk
if using regualr Outlook gives it a diffrent title then Outlook Express.

There's a note in the instructions saying that if you are having
problems you can just email them please.
In the past 6 years I have had 1 incident where someone "mistakenly"
voted for the same thing like 35 times.
I trust the Community and so far we have never been burned:)

Whatever the subject, it will make it into the voting talley:)

No offense but how do you know you never been burned? If someone cheats the
idea is to get away with it lol, you know what I mean? =P
I don't see what was wrong with the in-world voting like last year. Was
funner and probably more secure from multi-voting minus the few people who
have more than 1 cit.

I agree with comit. There's no way to know that people have already cheated
on numerous occasions.

Haven't* cheated on numerous occasions I mean.
