How top voted games on this site are decided

It dawned on me earlier that DnL is the second top voted game on this site, even though reading many forum posts the general feeling towards this game seems scepitcal.
So can anyone just create multiple accounts and vote for it? Does it log your IP ?

Well, Dark and Light has 3600 hype votes, in a 1-10 system.
#1 Chronicles of E-whatever (I forgot) has 500 votes, in a 1-10 system.
It apparently goes purely by the average result of a 1-10 system, regardless of number of votes. Flawed? Maybe.
But, it begs the question, how did Dark and Light get so many 9s and 10s voted for it when those screenshots are just god awful? Conspiracies abound!

There has been one or another incident about it in the past years and imo it should get removed already. I wonder if this gimmick actually works as it seems -if you get my drift.
Space is precious with the current site-design and yet it is wasted on this (along with some other exclusively industry-catering blocks on the mainpage).
But i guess it will stay in place as long as it makes some people in the industry happy.
That's how
I've gotten many messages from people who basically said that they normally never make posts.
My guess is that a lot of people have voted on that hype meter. I would say, as a general rule what is posted on a site is NOT the general feeling of the majority.

Ballot stuffing must be suspected by someone who frequents this site and reports it to the site. MMORPG.com will then investigate and find out whether it actually happened. If ballot stuffing has occurred then they take care of it.

Points. The reactions give you points. There are milestones that give you like 5 points extra for 500 agrees and such. The colors are meaningless and don't give any benefits.

If you give details about why you think it's wrong there is a greater chance of an investigation.
In the past I have reported a few instances of hype listings that I felt were inconsistent. Most of them were eventually removed. Those were more blatantly cheating than this may be.
But it's just a color, it doesn't mean shit.
I was legendary aeons before i joined these forums.
It was just the forum's software that couldn't keep up with that.

When websites make a top 5 list or whatever top 10,it carries even less weight,less votes and usually with an agenda to vote in a well sponsored developer.
You know what would make it meaningful,if a real developer "an unbiased one" rated games based on a full knowledge of game design.However seeing what i see for game design in the mmorpg genre is just pathetic,every game looks like a clone of a clone,why would i trust a word of even those mindless creators.
So what we need is individual system people to rate each area of a game design,from music creators to mappers,sound technicians,artists,modelers,combat systems,characterization systems,the list goes on and on,no one single VOTE carries any weight at all because a game is designed by MANY people with not one single goal other than to finish their development phase.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
