You could register at the library or whatever and then vote from there. Different computer, different IP or whatever it is

By the way, apparantly if you're a registered member there your vote counts much heavier!

Oh! I didn't know that. How do you know? I am registered, but I think I didn't bother to login for the vote as I don't frequent the site too often.

I think logging in shouldn't matter. I doubt that they track the IP adress.

First time I voted as a guest I thought it said something that gave the impression that registerd voters could keep hitting the button but guests had to wait 3 minutes to vote again! Odd. Just been back and can't see that message but now I see...

"guest votes only count in the event of a tie"

Sure that wasn't there before but must have been I guess unless they just changed the rules yesterday. Maybe a cookie changes the message when you next return?

OK, now registered and my previous guest vote is already converted to a registered vote.

Once the first 1000 votes (for any mod) are in then a live scorboard kicks in at (http://www.moddb.com/events/2007-mod-of-the-year-awards/scoreboard)

So register(top of page at (http://www.moddb.com)) and get voting for Dark Mod. :thumb:

Registered, than voted again :)

How'd you manage that, I re-registered with different name and email through IE instead of firefox etc. but it still told me I'd already voted. I'll try again with a different pc, maybe the laptop.

Or where do you look for guest vote being converted?

I voted as a guest from my office computer, and registered and voted on my home computer.

@Nickie : When I say 'converted' I meant that after I registered the button just said I had already voted (so there was no way to vote again) so it must have used the vote I cast before I registered because I did not vote at all once registered.

This is how I see it:

. If you are registered you only get one vote but it is certain to be counted.

. If you are not registered you can vote repeatedly (with a three minute delay between each) but the votes will be ignored unless there is a tie with the registered votes.

Understood. Thanks Fidcal.
