How's that whole ATOT Effect working?

[Ichinisan]

so basically anyone can script an entry and they get taken down. interesting.

Why not just start running a script on the current winner? Lets take them out then.

This.

 

[LOL_Wut_Axel]

This.

So how do we go about doing this?

 

[Ichinisan]

They took it down because of use of automated devices/offering payment for votes...

WTF...whatever it was obviously a crap voting system I sincerely apologize to everyone in ATOT for wasting their time.

Should have wrapped the URL in

[code]

tags and asked ATOT to copy-paste the URL. Us techies will understand that it's to prevent the site from seeing the referral URL.

 

[Ichinisan]

So how do we go about doing this?

If OP would put the link back up, I'll take a crack at it...

Kinda sloppy and not fully-automated, but it lets me vote repeatedly.

Wait, so do we have to vote again?

 

[Ichinisan]

Wait, so do we have to vote again?

Only to disqualify the other one for being "popular".

Justice for OP, who was unfairly disqualified for being popular.

That other user probably got all her referrals through Facebook, which celebrations.com actually allows because they WANT exposure through FB. When the celebrations.com folks saw a bunch of referrals from some "forums.anandtech.com," they said "WTF is this?" and unfairly disqualified OP's wife.

ATOT was "social media" before FB

 

[mrblotto]

well wtf...............

meh, you got a cute wife anyhow OP! :thumbsup:

 

[brainhulk]

is there a bot to change the ip that you click from every time? :biggrin:

 

[corwin]

Wow...looks like they reset all the votes for the entries...the dumbstick one had over 5k yesterday and now has under 2k and is no longer in first...

 

[CZroe]

The referral URL suggestion was for what we SHOULD have done. We should probably leave the referral up if we want them to disqualify again.

 

[CZroe]

Wow...looks like they reset all the votes for the entries...the dumbstick one had over 5k yesterday and now has under 2k and is no longer in first...

Then we need to stop inflating it.

 

[corwin]

Then we need to stop inflating it.

My thoughts exactly...wonder why they just reset them and didn't put the butterflies back in? They really were the best looking ones...

 

[brainhulk]

maybe the admins for the cupcake site are reading this thread as we speak

 

[lxskllr]

is there a bot to change the ip that you click from every time? :biggrin:

You could probably do it with Tor.

I have a feeling that drumstick is and inside job. Why did they reset all the votes but still left it on the site.

 

[mrblotto]

Dear Celebrations.com,

WTF?

Sincerely,
