Who is Gaming the board

OK, so obviously someone is finding olds Polls and voting on them so that the thread will jump to the top of the board. Personally, I find this annoying and wouldn't mind a suspension.

Barring that, is there any way the setting in the board can change so this stupid poll bug will stop?

An admin can go in and set an end date for these polls. Not sure if it can be done globally or if it has to be done on each thread.

I'll fiddle around with the board code and see what's up.

No need to fiddle around with the code. I made a setting change for a while for the sake of convenience (was helpful in the project that has now been moved offsite). I'll change it back now.

Done.

I wish we didn't have idiots that did stuff like this, by the way.

Is there some sort of scavenger hunt going on right now? That was the last time I recall a mass masturbation all over the board.

Ban everyone who was on at the time. It's the only way to be sure.
