A person planning on winning TOTM would only create 1000 accounts the month before. #1, #4, and #5 are pretty necessary though.janmb wrote:The way to combat this, or at least make it such a lot of hassle that it hopefully would no longer be considered worth their while, would be to:
1. Require login
2. Require an account to exist for 1 month before being allowed to post on forums
3. Require at least 50 forum posts (subtract spam) to consider an account fully operational
4. Require a fully active account in order to rank teases at all
5. 1 vote per account, lifetime, global
It would be interesting to see if the ratings would have been different with #3 in place (pre current attacks).
If the ratings would have been the same, then #3 would serve as an additional security measure against attacks.
