I think he used a keyboard/mouse activity capture macro and looped it. Basically simulated actual keystroke and/or mouse movement. Can probably find one of those online somewhere.?

38% to 38% all tied up!

DadOf8 · 05-16-2005, 03:09 PM

Suarez is up 39% to 38%, we can't let Chivas beat us. I got two more people to vote.

Suarez 40%
Kreis 37%

BOOOOO 🙁

Not sure about that, but the cookie they use is "user [at] 2o7.txt". Just delete that, close the "Vote" and "Results" window and vote again.

I think it may use a more sophisticated method of tracking the votes such as IP tracking. I tried voting like 15 times using the delete cookies method with no luck in changing the percentages. Unless there are literally thousands of votes in which case 15 wouldn't really matter.

38 to 40 for Suarez as of this post. blech. 😠

How can this be happening? It's not like they actually have any fans. And it's not like the goal was actually better. They must have someone who knows a better way to cheat! 😠

I tried the same thing with the cookies and it didn't seem to make a difference. But if they are tracking IPs, how are the cheeto's cheating? 😕 Like I said, they don't have as many fans so it can't be legit! Unless more of their people are into computers. I doubt that, too. Someone's figured out a way around it. Who's our resident hacker? Come on. Someone step up and show us how to REALLY stuff the ballot box! :D

Actually, I was trying the "cookie trick" again and the percentage went up. It is now 39% to 39%. If someone knows how to do the macro, then I suggest he do it, and quick. A couple thousand votes might well do the trick. But that would take me quite awhile to do with my trusty mouse. 😲

The added problem with this is most company computers have the same external IP address seen by the rest of the world. Therefore, using multiple computers are work or school will generally only count as 1 IP address.
