Okay, so I've noticed something that I need to discuss with you all. For a while now, I've suspected that there might be vote campaigning going on with the MH ToC poll, but I haven't been able to confirm it until today.
Normally moderators aren't able to see who voted in a poll once the hide poll results option is selected, but osso gave me the permission to, which is usually only granted to global moderators and up.
So, now having the ability, I immediately started noticing a lot of questionable activity. By that I mean, I can see that there's a significant number of recently created accounts with no posts participating in the polls.
I bring this up because, I'm not sure what to do about this. This is a spoiler, and I apologize, but it's happening with multiple series, but I'm noticing it mostly with the two series tied for 1st, CSM and OP.
Both series have recently created no posts users voting for them, but OP seems to have more of them. Maybe they're just lurkers, but the fact they were all created in the later half of 2019 and/or within the last month has me a bit concerned.
Again, I don't know what we (or I) should do about this. That's why I'm consulting you guys. Should we ignore this and just let it be, or should we start disregarding votes?
