While the showroom voting practices exhibited by the vast majority of NFSUnlimited users are fair and equitable, NFSUnlimited Staff are frankly sick to death of the practices of a select few and the problems and complaints that they cause.
Consequently, in accordance with the NFSunlimited General Rules that all users agree to abide by during the registration process, staff are now taking earnest and decisive action to eliminate the problem.
One of the more common strategies employed involves the creation of multiple user accounts - sometimes in excess of twenty nicks - which are all used to unfairly vote cars up and down in the showrooms. This is particularly easy to track down.
As can be seen by the first rule in the book, multiple accounts are not tolerated. Consequently, more than fifty such accounts have been deactivated in past days, resulting in an inability for the users to login to those accounts. We have alse deleted all showroom votes that were given by the accounts.
This has also produced a minor shakeup in the showrooms as the bogus votes are removed and we begin to see things as they really are.
We are still at work on the problem. We have a vested interest in keeping NFSUnlimited a great place to be. Amongst other things, that means keeping it clean, open and fair.

We are aware that this situation occurs and so we're careful to check with the user(s) if there's any doubt. In your case Sparco, both accounts would recieve a 'please explain' message and we'd take it from there, depending on the response.^Sparco^ wrote:I have 2 accounts...
My brother is Eclipse_Storm or something like that. He uploaded a rice car to the showroom, but he never rates.
Is there any problem? If yes delete HIS account (LOL)
However, when it's plain and clear from the voting what has been going on, the accounts and votes are removed immediately and wothout notice.
This is the precise reason why the ability to see who voted was removed. It resulted in a lot of so-called 'revenge' voting. Believe me, things are much better the way they are now.Pelado wrote:I have to say.....I agree with you. Retaliation...nope. You can learn a lot from one person by the way he vote.

No problem. I accept that. I don´t agree but I accept it.GT3x24x7 wrote:This is the precise reason why the ability to see who voted was removed. It resulted in a lot of so-called 'revenge' voting. Believe me, things are much better the way they are now.
Btw if some guy made a so-called revenge vote...c´mon, grow up.
it shouldn't. you should rate challenhe cars by it's purpose not by it's looks. i see the pink challenge cars have very low ratings. well i didn't go below a 5 because none of them are bad.Sir Ibi wrote:So does upvoting and downvoting also apply to the showroom challenges, like the Pink challenge and what not.
There is no doubt that users will vote using a different system in the challenges. I myself vote only 'within the comp' - the worst car(s) get a 1, the best get a 10 and the rest fall somewhere in between.
However, vote manipulation in the challenges is still very easy for us to spot and it is being dealt with.

I rarely give 10 out of 10 votes when I vote, it is rather difficult to do for me, but I never vote down or up, HELLO whats the point, there is no prize other than a title, I do it for the fun and in this kind of "game" I just don't see the point in using these kind of "cheats"
I don't know if it is just me who is getting too old or what (I am 19 but I feel too old )
Oh and GT, be careful around my IP, I post from the school and I am unsure if me and Morty got the same IP (Same school but diffrent location not sure if we are on the same network)
So be careful around some of us, you may hurt many more than the intended.
In the future, I will keep to my voting policy, I vote on what I like and I check out other peoples garages every now and then, though I doubt 25 cars is enough when this gets going
Oh well, time to go back to the old peoples home (joke) and keep doing my thing with the showroom and NFSU 2.
