    Right, I am starting this, because to my utter disappointment, I have been reading about people “manipulating” the voting.

    I tried this out…It worked. So some of the bikes are receiving multiple votes from the same people, over and over.

    My question is

    Do you have to be logged in for a vote to be cast? (I seemed to be able to vote without being logged in, twice)
    Can you vote more than once on the same bike? (I also managed to do this)
    Can you vote daily on the same bike? (I haven’t been able to confirm this)

    From what I am reading, there are a number of people, voting over and over on the same bike and artificially bumping the votes up, are these getting counted?

    It was pointed out days ago. No reply was ever given! As i said before, are we just meant to sit back and watch? I told people this morning on FB, not to waste their time voting because of all this. It’s a shame because it was actually a fun competition.

    And yes, i could point out two people that were boosting votes right from the word go

    Latest up from Trek UK
    Latest up from Trek UK twitter feed.

    So, some select individuals have been vote doping in the @roadcc Project One competition. WAVDA has caught you, & you are banned.
    <<< Fine.
    We found the problem, and the culprit(s). Safe to say that the nefarious activity started over the weekend, not before.
    <<< NOT fine. I started this thread on Friday and the cheating was going on days before I posted X(

    You are right Paul, these competitions are always about promotion above all else

    Define cheating.

    This was always going to be a lucky dip followed by a popularity competition.

    Given that one aim of the road.cc website is to maximise views, and the aim of the competition is to promote the trek project one service I’d say that the only people who will be bothered by what has been uncovered are the 24 finallists who don’t win.

    Road.cc and trek will only be looking at (& happy with) the number of hits.

    Wow… maybe Dave can count the likes registered only by users with Road.cc accounts? Then again, maybe the sponsor doesn’t care who gets the bike or how, or doesn’t want to cause mayhem by stopping the bike competition now so maybe there won’t be a rule against all this “extra” vote getting, but it’s a shame. The winner should be the most ‘liked’ bike not the one that got the most votes. Well, maybe next time they’ll limit it to registered users, but hell, then people could just as well create a bunch of new user accounts… too bad! :/

    Yup, I knew there was information going around about cheating and this is why I started this thread, so maybe some rules could be confirmed about cheats would be chucked out….I guess not.

    Yep bloody stupid! Noticed last night. Some idiot basically told people how to cheat. Nothing was done about it by anyone running the “competition”, so what do you do?! It’s a joke. Are you meant to just sit by and watch, after actually trying to get proper votes?.. Who Knows.
