I wasn't offended, just disgusted from your methods. The guys behind the @accelerator have created this beautiful thing for people to stand out with their WORK and instead of being a good sport you try to game...the game at the expense of the other participants.
I am sure you felt like a huge genious when you called randowhale to vote your comment. The other participants who decided to play fair must be really stupid!
To be honest, I hope you win. Yes, you will make some $$ with the delegated power but it's not like you will ever stand out with this mentality.
Good luck, I have said everything I had to say.
Hi, don't worry, I shall remove the bot-votes. But I also notice that I forgot to reinsert the "no bot votes" rule when I switched from poll-only to poll-plus-comment-votes.
Thanks trumpman for your support. Had it been a follow-bot with dozens of votes, I would have just counted it as zero.
This cannot be a high-security contest, and relies on the behaviour of all who take part (and even those who participate in the voting) - this is the main reason I keep the poll scores hidden during the contest, so that any attempt to game the system is removed. It just isn't worth it! :-)
