About Me
Hello! I'm the founder of Destructoid. My cblog page is always in ruin because I use it to test my code.

Please feel free to bitch at me when I break something or do something you don't like to the site. I love getting email from people that really care about making the site better, so hit me up with your ideas!

You can reach me at niero [at] destructoid.com.

Fraud and the PS3 contest -- we need a better way to do this.
Niero | 11:42 AM on 10.03.2007 77 comments


Guys,

After analyzing some of the logs last night we found that a variety of people had actually gone through the trouble of creating multiple email accounts and submitting ballots using other names.

Weak.

We're now adding a system to de-dupe these entries, which further delays the contest drawing. We apologize for not having the foresight to think of this sooner. See, this is why we can't have nice things! The new drawing ETA is scheduled this weekend and will be on the home page asap. At the very least people that weren't recognized for having a cblog can still petition for those ballots.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

How about just giving it to me? I'll invest in the games (warhawk, et al) to host Dtoid servers some nights, and other times, I'll just speak well of your stature and manliness? Or I won't, which ever makes the PS3 more mine... (and sometimes I think I'm SOOOO freaking funny, but at least I only used one account... )

Hmm. Will those people still be able to win the PS3 contest, or have they been disqualified? I hope the latter.

Buttholes.

Send Ron Workman, a baseball bat and a jar of mayonnaise after the cheaters. I don't know what the mayonnaise is for but dammit to hell if that man can not find a way to use it in that situation.

Yeah, disqualify and maybe ban them. No need for a public flogging, i don't want to see this turn into Digg.

Disqualify the faggits. That's not community-like behavior right there.

I say we have them disqualified for delaying
the contest, and making it even harder to
find a winner. All in favor?

I refuse to believe that the denizens of the internet are anything but honest, truthful and fair.

Niero, you are obviously a filthy liar. You owe me that PS3. Or at LEAST a 360.

lol @ Volcanon.

I would've gone with Game Genie myself, but that is still hilarious.

Let us burn the cheaters at the stake with our massive flame wars. BURNINATE THEM!!!
