Comment on Poll: Which cloud host do you use?

Comments

Looks like someone gamed this poll. 36 of Linode's 93 votes came from newly created accounts. (For comparison, 1 of Amazon's 78 did.)

I think in future I'll ignore votes of newly created accounts in polls. For now I'm going to manually subtract them.

This may have something to do with it. Did you manually subtract votes from all newly created accounts or just Linode's?

Everyone's. Linode had the most.

I'm confused at the numbers then: 93 - 36 > 24 (current number of votes)

Oops, I changed the software to ignore votes from newly created users, but in this case I'd already manually subtracted them. I fixed it.
