Talk:People's Choice Awards

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why are there two entries for this topic (i.e., see See People's Choice Award)? –Matt 06:23, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Online voting Might permit ballot stuffing

Isn't it true that, sometimes, with online voting, it's possible to vote, hit the backspace key and vote again and again, which allows ballot stuffing to take place? In January 9 2005, the nominated "2004 Release Favorite Films" were: "Shrek 2", (the biggest money-making film of the year which did quite well with the critics); "Spider-Man 2", (a hugh money maker and critical success), "The Incredibles, (a very big money maker and critical success); and "Fahrenheit 911", (made money and some critics liked it). "Fahrenheit 911" won the award, and the possibility of ballot stuffing was raised. A great many online voting sites, will permit a person to vote once and only once, while there are others that will allow one person to vote over and over again for as many times as they want to.204.80.61.10 18:40, 11 May 2006 (UTC)Bennett Turk

It is true that online voting can be faked. There is no easy way to prevent someone from voting more than once. Almost every technology on the internet that could be used: IP address, MAC address, Cookies, etc, can be faked (sometimes quite easily), and many can easily represent more than one user. The most anyone can do, short of requiring government ID or Credit Card numbers, is just make it very, very difficult.69.95.232.214 (talk) 19:07, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Not "People's Choice"

How can it be the "people's choice" if we're only given three choices? 67.188.172.165 01:11, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles for each year's awards

Shall we make articles for each year's awards? Like 2008 People's Choice Awards ? --Pixelface (talk) 03:03, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
