So I've been keeping an eye on the polls for baby of the week, and I don't know what the heck is happening but on many occasions some babies votes have gone all the way up, and then all the way back down again. Just recently (like the last 20 minutes) there were two babies clearly ahead of the rest, and now there are another two up in the lead who where way down low before. How are we gonna know if the competition is fair when it keeps on doing this! -------------

| I noticed this happening too. I could see your boy almost getting the number one spot, and then I checked again and another two babies shot right up, and so now there is a 3 way tie involving 2 bubs that were no way near the front an hour a go. Not fair at all IMO. |

Teehee, yep, I told people NOT to vote for her for that exact reason! I think the thing with the voting is caused by people sitting on their computers clearing their cookies and voting repeatedly for the same baby over and over again. Unfortunately there's no way to stop them from doing that, but hey, more fool them coz they'll never know if they would have won without cheating, and besides, if they have the time to sit at their computers doing that all night, more power to them! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

There is a way to stop it apparently. One vote per IP address would cut down some of the repeated votes |
