[R] Caelapes possibly using login-and-vote scripg

[Kaalmi]

Reppy said iy was banned, and Caelapes just went fro the mid 300s to nearly 500 votes at a speed of almost 20 votes per second. Seems fishy.

We've notified the admins to check into it. If there is any sign of illegal activity, appropriate action will be taken.

Thanks. This election shouldn't be spoilt by some bots.

I'm not using any scripts. Anyone using scripts to vote for me is doing so without my knowledge.

Edit: TRF is running a legal API script to track voting patterns. I'm sure they would happily share that data with admins if they need it. I'll be looking into the voting patterns myself later tonight, as I have no interest winning based on illegal scripts.

http://www.nationstates.net/page=activi ... ilter=vote does not show even remotely 20 votes per second being cast. More like 20 votes per minute at the highest speeds.

I've also inspected the server logs.

So this is all cleared up, then? No foul play?

Are puppets allowed in the voting? Hard to track, I know, but look at the Zulankan Outposts... (1 - 40ish)...

As stated before, yes, as long as they are not powered by a script and are only manual.

No worries. If someone else were to vote for you using scripts, they'd at least have all their puppets deleted and that automatically removes their votes.
