Firstly, I wasnt having a go! ;o)
Secondly, soz about your email address etc the other day in the NG. I was
tired - my appologies.
Thirdly, I can prevent the same people 'over voting' to some degree, but
there are issues here.

Firstly, I would either have to have you guys reveal email addresses to me.
Want to do that? Be on my list etc?
Next, I could have you all register and make it so that only register user
can vote.
But neither of these will prevent 'stupid' people abusing the system.
Just like Freeserve, we report people to the abuse, they get kicked out,
then they open a new account, and come back with more spam and insults.

There are limits to what I can do here.  I am running this purely
voluntarily, I get nothing out of it apart from giving a little back to all
of the people who have helped me out etc in the past, and helping new people
come along too.

I put the map voting site up trusting all of you people to NOT misuse it,
for the serious players here we will all respect that and only cast one vote
for DM and one for TP.

As I have to manually check every response I get (which hasnt been huge to
be honest either - you're not all really supporting it yet), its time
consuming, but it does give me the ability to spot obvious duplications in
voting and these WILL be ignored.

I will happily change the layout so that you have to log in or reveal email
addresses etc, if thats what everyone here wants, fine by me. But I was
hoping that everyone here would b e responsible enough not to mis use it.

I understand thoroughly what you are saying, but if I intervein and take a
map off of the list, then thats hardly fare to someone who likes that map.
Also, then if someone says, I dont like Cheyenne, Cracked, Hostage2, etc etc
etc, should I also take all of these down?

The voting should reveal what maps are favoured, if no one votes for Colt
etc, then it wont go up, simple as that.

Appologies for going on, but I have had to put in some serious hours to get
the simple looking voting system to work over the last week, and when it
finally does, I wasnt expecting a criticsim straight away!  Tell me what you
want to change with the layout/security etc and I will change it again, but
as for displaying ALL maps for players selection etc, thats staying as it
is, unless someone at Planet takes me off of the case and recruits someone
else.

All comments on this are welcome, as if this service isnt supported by YOU
people, I will take it down, it takes a LOT of time to do, which I happily
do, but I do expect you guys and gals to use it.
