Someone contacted me and asked if there had been a rise in newly registered members because he suspected foul play in this vote. While I cannot check who voted, I can check out if any of those new members are double accounts which share an IP adress with another member.
Turns out that a lot of people did. I'm not above a little naming and shaming:
51st Regiment of Foot/Halkett made 11 additional accounts
Rosen111 made 23 additional accounts
I'm still thinking about what punishment I should give them, but it's gonna be either a temporary or a permanent ban. Anyway, if you ever wanna hold a vote and make sure it isn't filled by freshly registered accounts, feel free to contact me to make a vote-thread in the CR section (which only corporals and above can enter). Of course, that requires members to register as Voter.
