ZWOLF Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 The BOZ is still out front. It's lead was been narrowed a bit by the Lexus. In the manufactures poll Nissan is still out front. It appears that you may vote once every 24 hours. http://blog.cardomain.com/2009/12/22/peoples-choice-2009/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZWOLF Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 Thanks everyone for their ongoing support. Today was turbulent. BlueOvalZ started at 44% of the vote. Since noon the BOZ has lost 5% while the Mustang has picked up 9% and still climbing. We have identified their methods and for ethical reasons have chosen not to duplicate them. This poll ends on Thursday night, but are looking to maintain our margin and make a Z car "Show Off of the Year" If you have not voted please take a moment make your opinion count. http://blog.cardomain.com/2009/12/22/peoples-choice-2009/ 1 vote per 24 hr. period. Thanks for your help!! P.S. -Nissan is still #1 in the manufacturers category! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueovalz Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Thanks for the support guys, it is very heartening. Berry provided some data to create the graph and explanation shown at the link below (post #18 of the string). http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?p=313150 Roger's explanation of the results is one that has failed to be addressed by anybody associated with this contest, yet such a drastic increase in such a short window is extremely impractical unless manipulation was involved. Overall, I feel bad for everyone that supported and voted for any and all of the 5 candidates because the lack of any security in the poll (choice of cheapest polling product) allowed manipulation by simply removing the cookies, and then voting...click...click...click...over and over again. All that effort and no validity. We tried to prompt discussion on the Reader's Choice blog of the voting situation, but surprisingly most responses addressed personal car issues with no concern over the perceived ballot stuffing. Yes, I am a bit naive in that my expectations of our automotive brethren is fairly high (re-setting those expectations now) in that I would assume the big picture is ultimately more important than whether 'my wheels deserve to be in the poll instead of the ricer wheels' type of comments made.

DavyZ Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 The very definition of a fair fight NOT! Grrrrrr. What is the point of "winning" in a forum where a person can vote an unlimited number of times? Pure 'poop' I tell you. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrustnut Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I think its kinda funny... one of the members says "it shows what a big family we are". Well... If you vote like 20 times, wouldn't that make it like a weird southern inbred family? Any one can add bolt on's to a mustang, yes it's a sharp looking car, but nowhere near the time investment or quality of the BOZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rat_ranger Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Yeah but we can rest assured that if he daily drives that mustang much the top end and turbos are gonna be trashed from all the crap the suck in with no filters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZWOLF Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 Thanks Guys for all of the support during...and now after the contest. This is a graph that we supplied to CD during the contest to illustrate what occurred, and questioned the validity of voting. As you can see by comparing the information in the previously supplied (#28 above) links. We were dead on in our assessment that "Ballot Stuffing" was occurring. There is a certain satisfaction that up until the cheating started the BOZ was the "Peoples Choice" by a margin of 2-1. And...our morality is still intact.

evil_datto Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Funny how they just say 'we're just a big family, they're hurt cause there's so much of us'. They clearly raped the system by tricking it into thinking they hadn't voted yet, voting as many times as they had time to do. You had a steady amount of voting from the CD community & hybridz, they had jack all from CD until those guys on their forum decided to totally abuse the voting system.

280zjoel Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 WOW.... JUST WOW... I feel like punching the first guy I see driving a mustang for the heck of it(unless they own a z of course) just kidding, but seriously wow!!!! Some people need to act their age and not their shoe size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks280zt Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I don't see the big deal, you lost a contest on a site that is mostly a bunch of street racing morons and ricers. We all know your car is awesome, and if you like it, then that's all that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
