Help Bring Down the Annoying Score for our Muppeters!

[The Count]

You know... Just don't think I'll keep at this. If you ask me to defend the Muppeteers and the Muppets, sure, I'll do so.
But this website just isn't worth it with their stupid reasoning.

When I logged on earlier this morning, Jim Henson was at #1 with 40.xx%. After some work, I got it down to 34.21%. Now, when I logged back on in the evening his total skyrocketed upwards and I was only able to bring it back down to 40.21%.

So, here's what I've been thinking... Couldn't someone sue this website for fraudulent and/or illegal online poll voting procedures?
It's clear to me these guys aren't working on the up and up, and it's been run unfairly.
1 You're able to continuously vote an infinite number of times for any one person on the list (Jim Henson as an example), and you keep voting for that one same person without any visible change in the total results.
2 You're able to continuously vote for an infinite amount of times for any one person on the list (Jim Henson as an example again), yet that person's totals are only lowered when you start voting for the next person on the list (Jim Henson if #2 has his total lowered only after voting for Richard Hunt if #3).
3 People taking advantage of this infinite voting amount to immensely exponentially increase a person's totals, thus negating any work done to lower them and making it nye impossible to ever get any of the names on the list down to 0%.
Thought you guys should be made aware of these facts, maybe it'll lead to getting those idiots shut down for good.

Wow Ed, I completely forgot you're a lawyer!
While I would ultimately like to see this site cmake some changes, if not shut down, I'm not sure if your arguments are intirely valid. I could be wrong, and it could all be just a scam, there is, in theory anyway, a limit to the voting. It is still unfair, but I don't think it is elegal. Still, I'm sure there is something else we could get them on. False information, perhaps?

i can't believe this!!! gRRrRRrRrrrrrrRr

I voted no for Kevin Clash several times, and for some reason his percentage kind of went up instead...

Actually Kate... Not one yet, still studying, got about two-thirds of the creds needed to graduate. But I don't think there's a limit to the amount of times you can vote. Why do I say this? Cause I've voted maybe more than fifteen times on the few times I've visited the site, and the totals either stay the same or only change when I vote for the next name on the list... But I'm still able to keep placing votes.
Another point to make is the one Kendra just mentioned, about how a name on the list's total shot up even though she was voting "Not Annoying" for that particular name.

Don't know, this site deserves a full investigation... And hopefully a thorough shutdown.

I don't know... It would seem out of all of you, I seem to be having the best luck on the site. Sure, I've had all the problems you've mentioned at one time or another, but there have also been times where I've significantly lowered numbers, at least temporarily. But yes, an investigation is definately in order! I mainly came to this thread now for curiosity, though I do intend to do some work also.

i don't like to vote in polls... I'll just let nature take its course with this one.

Of course I haven't studied all the entries, but if you'll notice, no matter what number or ranking most of the muppeteers have, the majority of their total votes seem to be posative. At least this can be seen as one good thing!

Yeah, with this site, if anyone is in the forty range, it's a good thing. Anything above fifty, and these Muppeteers will need some serious voting.
