Title: 2nd take of the POTY 2022 voting
Post by ArthurOww on 02/08/23 at 09:41:55

As some of you noticed, there was a minuscule tiny microscopic little detail in the prior POTY poll that... Simply made anyone able to vote multiple times and it messed up the poll so much that 1st place had 170+ votes and 2nd place had... 22. Yeah I messed up I'm the dumbest man alive and I apologize for not knowing how this site works.

Anyway, to redeem myself, I'm re-hosting the vote, not via this site this time however, but as a Google Form! This poll will be available to any player that's registered on our game's Player's Page. To further secure this vote, you'll be asked for your PP username and the link to your profile, before getting the chance to vote for who you think was the best last year. Multiple voting, in any way, will result in your vote not being counted! Don't be a fraud, Karter!

This Google Form will run from February 8th, 2023 to February 15th, 2023. It's available right here: https://forms.gle/PyWH46rLDZ5i4JhPA

Go Vote (again), people of Mario Kart! Good luck to all the contenders! ...and sorry for having -12 IQ again

What was the reasoning behind the Google form versus creating another poll on here that prohibited guests from voting? (There's a checkbox for that purpose)

I initially wanted to open this poll to the largest number, because nowadays a lot of people register on the PP without creating a Forum account, and thus these people would not be able to vote in a Forum poll. That was the reasoning behind me checking the "allow guests to vote" option, and as you've seen I didn't really think about the huge fraud opportunity I had then created.
So, in order to fulfill my wish of opening the vote to more people while keeping the vote fair and secured, I discussed with my updating partners and we together decided the best option was to host a Google Form. That's the whole story basically [smiley=roll.gif]
