Folks-
It's getting ridiculous both out here and in the Mod forums with campaign staffers constantly badgering Shelby with complaints that this person or that person is either fake , or in some cases, real but "not really elligible" to vote.
People, relatives, coworkers may and do have the same IP addresses. It's stupid that people insiinuate girlfreinds/wives/ coworkers- some who are long time members are openly disputed. Valerie and I post on the same computer- is that fake????
What makes it worse is that Billszone staff permeate both campaigns, and they have the abilty to try and do their own "detective work" before leveling voter fraud charges that this voter, or that voter aren't legit. In the end- these witch hunts are for the most part coming up empty. Most who have been under scrutiny have eventually been cleared as legit or at the least, been deemed "probably legit".
In the end, it makes everyone look kinda petty.
Here is my proposal- and I'll use my inflence as a site co-founder to legitimize it.
1- ALL INQUIRIES about the legitimacy of a voter will be handled via PM ONLY. No public debates on the boards or in ther mod private forums.
2- I will assist in verifying any votes. It shouldn't be to hard.
3- Any staff of the zone involved in a campaign should recuse himself from the process for proprietry's sake
Opinions?
