Re: GT vs Super [POLL]
ok I gave my vote and although they do not believe it, I did not think it would be so much the difference in the survey XD

Re: GT vs Super [POLL]
I would like to raise a small concern about this poll: its only method of checking for vote duplication is IP-based. It's trivial to set up a VPN or something to get around that; I have an addon that can do it which I use to get around geoblocked YouTube videos; it can connect to several different IP servers, so in theory, I could do about 10 or 20 votes with it.
So... If people cheated before, I don't imagine such a simple method of checking would actually stop them from doing it again.
Just saiyan'.

The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.

Re: GT vs Super [POLL]
You already said that earlier...As of now the poll looks perfectly legit, unlike the first one which received like 200 votes in the span of an hour lolRobo4900 wrote:I would like to raise a small concern about this poll: its only method of checking for vote duplication is IP-based.

Please don't encourage people to cheat thank you.

Oh, I almost forgot about this thread. This might be of interest to you.
These are the results of this poll, which I held a couple of days ago after reading this thread. Make of it what you will.

Re: GT vs Super [POLL]
Now I'm suspecting GT fans to cheat again, moreover since GT suddenly catched up to 40% after it was really close to 30% before Rob04900 said my poll is not impossible to cheat on lol
There really is no point to cheat on such poll, if your favorite option doesn't win it's not the end of the world is it really impossible to play it fair come on peeps you can do better than that lol
Thanks Alrunela, that is indeed of interest to me lol

Re: GT vs Super [POLL]
As Robo said, people are always going to cheat on polls like these (it's quite easy). That's why polls are almost meaningless. If you wanted to get a better view of the forums thoughts on each series, having people vote in the comments with their actual justifications is a better way. You don't have people hiding under complete anonymity so their votes carry more weight.PsionicWarrior wrote:Now I'm suspecting GT fans to cheat again, moreover since GT suddenly catched up to 40% after it was really close to 30% before Rob04900 said my poll is not impossible to cheat on lol

btw, I thought people cheated by voting more than once on Super too.

Re: GT vs Super [POLL]
Also "majority" doesn't equal quality so even if Super wins the poll (which for all we know people are probably still cheating as Robo pointed out) it doesn't mean it's objectively better as it all a matter of opinion and preference.

If this this forum had the ability to create polls, so you're forced to be a registered Kanzenshuu user to submit a vote
that would sure clear things out since alt accounts get banned lol
Yeah there were cheats from both sides but GT was leading with 70% lolTimetraveller wrote: btw, I thought people cheated by voting more than once on Super too.

Sure, because it's harder to cheat this time around. It's easy to tip the balance, but difficult to overwhelm it like that. If the cheaters are willing to go through the hassle of actually cheating, they'll probably also be willing to go through the hassle of doing it gradually.PsionicWarrior wrote:As of now the poll looks perfectly legit, unlike the first one which received like 200 votes in the span of an hour lol
Either I don't talk about this, and the cheating is never acknowledged, or I do talk about this, and run a slight risk that if there wasn't anyone already cheating, they will now. Neither is a good option, but I think I made the right choice; if this poll has a big factor to discredit it, it's worth mentioning.PsionicWarrior wrote:Please don't encourage people to cheat thank you.

If you want it to be foolproof, you'd have to do it like Timetraveller's suggestion, and have each vote be a post. Otherwise people could create alt accounts; sure, the mods try to ban alt accounts, but they have to find evidence that they are an alt account first.PsionicWarrior wrote:If this this forum had the ability to create polls, so you're forced to be a registered Kanzenshuu user to submit a vote

I think DBS fans cheat because DBS would never have so high score.
It MUST be a cheat!
DBS fans are worse than GT fans, because they cheat, while GT fans do not cheat!
Stop cheating!

Are you even serious now? Or just trying to troll people?

Re: GT vs Super [POLL]
I mean, first poll had a hundred GT votes show up in a span of 10 minutes. Nothing fishy there.
I mean, not that I care anyway, it's a stupid poll. But some of you seem to be taking any criticism of GT really personally lately.

I do agree with Psionic though, I really wish there was polls. Forums always feel naked without that feature.

This was the second poll in the span of a few days.Kamiccolo9 wrote:I mean, first poll had a hundred GT votes show up in a span of 10 minutes. Nothing fishy there.

No one's triggered about GT criticism. It's the spreading of misinformation or low effort blanket statements like "GT is trash" that elicits a response. Especially when they nitpick things GT did that Super was also guilty of doing or argue canon status. This is a DB forum and you wouldn't be here if you weren't passionate about the franchise. Keep in mind this is another GT vs Super thread.
Criticism is always a good thing and always welcome in my book (when you're willing to discuss them for both shows). Blind elitism on the hand just makes the fanbase look bad. For example, I get that some people hate the dub but that doesn't mean you need to go to every dub thread telling people its trash and not to watch it.

Re: GT vs Super [POLL]
See, I think that if you are a rational, well-adjusted adult, you should be able to take criticism of a piece of entertainment you like, and just let it go. Obsessively going after every single "anti-"GT post as some users have been doing doesn't make one come across as anything other than "triggered."Timetraveller wrote:This was the second poll in the span of a few days.Kamiccolo9 wrote:I mean, first poll had a hundred GT votes show up in a span of 10 minutes.

Again, I don't care about the poll either way. But the fact that there are multiple GT vs Super Posts, with the same people coming in and getting upset that the show they prefer is being criticized or bashed, and yet are still participating, doesn't speak well for them. Nobody is even discussing things at this point, it's devolved into "Uh-huh!" "Nuh-Uh!"
