KIMMY 66 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 its possible there routing through an online proxy service to change ip or they dont have a fixed ip address and they just keep resetting the router which will give you a new ip address each time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calvinandmommy Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Voted. Tried to get my husband to vote but he can't since we are the same ip address. Boo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHOST R1D3R Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Yes they can use something that can randomise ip but iv heard they cost a load so for a dog competition it's unlikely. Whats the prize? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWolf Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Some ISPs have a very short IP leash time (meaning how frequently you change from IP). Sometimes it's a month but for some it's no more than a day before you get a new one. In most cases you can speed up that process by resetting your modem which basically gives you an unlimited amount of IPs. However, this is not fast and as it usually takes about one to two minutes to reconnect. So this technique is probably not used as you say it got 100 extra vote in one minute. Don't forget it can also be the website itself. Either they don't process all votes in real time and only updates once, lets say, 60 minutes OR the site itself is fishy and tries to create an artificial competition by keeping the votes as close together as possible. That is not unlikely because with every vote they will most likely receive money from the ads and sponsors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollys Dad Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Voted. Tried to get my husband to vote but he can't since we are the same ip address. Boo! Do either of you have smartphones? Switch them to data mode (3G etc) and you will have a different IP address from your home network Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Angel n Auroras Mum Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 a friend forwarded me this: Hi Thank you for your email regarding questionable voting for our Give Your Dog A Bone competition. There are unfortunately, some ways in which multiple votes can be cast by the same person which obviously contravenes the Competition’s Terms and Conditions. We have systems in place to make sure that any votes cast from the same computer are deleted. This process is called “De-duping†and is undertaken periodically and ensures that the voting system is fair. You will see the particular entry you have noticed will have its votes reduced accordingly (along with any other similar instances of entries receiving unfair votes) once my digital agency have done what they have needed to. Thank you for bringing this to your attention and I hope this message has addressed your concerns. Best regards, Dan White Group Product Manager Animal Health Division Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
