Unfortunately no. I’ve had to nuke a few accounts because of this (I can see IP addresses) because it was rather obvious they did it for raffle reasons…
We sort of have to hope that most people are honest, and it’s an honor system. I hope people don’t take advantage of Melody’s immense generosity. 🙁

I joined the forum for the raffle initially, but got sucked in by all the awesome people here.. Now there’s no turning back.
🙂It’s sad that there are people who cant be honorable when accepting generosity. 🙁
On the other hand, I feel that the really wonderful people that I’ve encountered here greatly outnumber any “bad apple” percentage. This is a great group. And…did anyone else notice a “Snappy” icon in the smiley selection now? ROFL Awesomesauce! :snappy: :snappy: :snappy: :snappy:

I didn’t even see the poll at first because I very rarely check the “Community” section of the forums. I usually stick to the “Windstone Editions” part of the forums. Maybe that’s the case with others, too?

It is with me. I don’t visit the Community section either, and I did not vote. There was also a thread of do/don’t use parts of the forum; my list is still sitting on my desktop and was never submitted.
I think there are a lot more “active” members than reflected in any polls.
Just an FYI… the poll was a sticky announcement forum-wide for over a month. 😉 This means it was visible at the header of every subforum in the entire Windstone Forum for a month.
I only recently moved it to the community section.

My art: featherdust.comI saw the poll when it was in General Windstone. o.o I barely ever look at the Community section either (no offense guys). e.e;
Man, I never even thought of making more than one account to screw with the raffle! That’s sad that anyone would do that, though. = How could you enjoy something you’d won if you knew you cheated to get it? I guess if you have no conscience it would be easy. >.>; Otherwise, it would just be a constant reminder you were dishonest.
Unfortunately, what one person sees as cheating is seen as “smart” or “clever” by others. I’m with you though – everybody SHOULD play fair. And I agree with those who have said “Karma will get you”. :snappy: Too bad it seems to take so long sometimes!

Only problem with this is when more than one account at the same address is legetimate. Myself, my roomate, and my husband are all on the forum. Hubby is a lurker, and just starting to practice on doing repairs for windstones (since mine tend to have “accidents due to 6 cats!), My roomate is Brightstar1008, and she post infrequesntly at best. But since we share a house, we all have the same IP address.

Ditto this, my fiance Scott and my mom have an account here, and both have logged in from my IP. At this time they only lurk. Scott logs in every once in a while but not very often. I don’t think he voted in the forum participation poll, but he definitely accesses the forum.
But, do those of you with multiple people posting from the same IP all join the forum within a few minutes of each other? Probably not. And no worries– I always write to the account holders to see what is up before deactivating them. I don’t go blasting off deletions willy nilly. 😉
