Help a dropzone (web poll)

[buff 0]

I crashed last night at midnight after getting vote 4500. Woke up this morning and the Council is losing big time after being up to 70% last night.

That's one busy little shithead with an agenda.

Simply refreshing the pie chart seems like it resends your vote.

When I do it it says "Confirm form resubmission" and get the option for continue or cancel.

It appears to be working since the vote went from 33.82 to 33.90 while I was doing it maybe 10-15 times


Ohhh

Get firefox and install "reload every" addon.
Vote and then set reload every to refresh the pie chart
open new tab and repeat!

Ok, would yall prefer a program or a website that auto posts for ya?

Yeah at 1 AM when I went to bed the City Manager had run his number to 2260. his number had stayed at about 850 fro severalhours.. now his numbers are up to 10,600 for him. I think someone was running scripts for him in the middle of the night for sure.

This HTML should work fine, just need someone to host it. (I KNOW I dont have enough bandwidth on my personal server)

The program works fine, the downside is, well, its REALLY processor hungry (opening 11 browsers, going to the page, killing them, repeat)

Mine is better

If only 2 people are running it then we get as much traffic as you're doing

Try this one out, load mine in 10 tabs, so roughly every minute or so, you're casting 100 votes...

I dont have the bandwidth to do it, but I know a cable connection sure could, as well as someone whos going jumping can just set it and go out for the day.

Does your program just run itself? Ive got 15 browsers open and it appears to be refreshing itself on its own. I really do love my connection.

Im all about AUTOMATION

I actually had it posting 110 submits in about a minute, but apparently thats a little too much for my computer to handle

Or I need better internet.

you all realise that they will void the poll
Unless they are complete4 fuckwits, they will know that it's been scripted


i still ran the script in a few windows for a while, but i know it will be fruitless

Well, I am running 10 tabs in FF right now, and I have found that FF has a gnarly memory leak in it somewhere...
currently eating 1GB of memory. We'll see how long I can keep this up before it eats everything. I've added 1000 votes so far.

And of course they will know it's been scripted Squeak....but you know what? Fuck him. That's what.

Of course they will.. BUT... the behavior of the poll last night.. showed the Manager or his minions were doing the same.. and had started off the poll running scripts..

Turn about is fail play

So all I had to do was click on your attachment and it automatically runs the voting script? Cool!

No kidding!

Every time I see a request in The Bonfire for people to go and vote for someone's cause (and there are a lot lately), I think what a nonsense any kind of online poll is - whoever wins, it has nothing to do with the merits of the entrant, and everything to do with how big an online community they have access to!

Currently 73% in favour of the City Council. It took a looong time for my vote to get a response, though. I think someone's automated voting process might be killing that server!

Sure, its not an election or anything that consequential, but this is helping drive support for a cause with a dropzone and a group of pilots to save their municipal airport!

Oh, not knocking your cause at all and I did vote to support it. I hope the outcome helps.

I'm just saying that online polls in general are fatally flawed. I'm still crossing my fingers for you that the powers-that-be buy into this one.
