Hype Awards 2

[watziznehmegin]

This is some real bullshit! There are some heads on the lists I have a lot of respect for, but when you have some no name wannabe's leading the polls 200 to 10, tell me these wankers, aren't sitting on the computer all day voting for themselves and beating their little dicks, this is a bullshit poll, they should have either locked down the IP address, or actually have a mail in vote or something, a sheet you fill out, that is in the mag or something and mail in, you will have less votes, but you could take them more serious at least, but this look like some clown awards right now, hope they tighten they act and fix the loopholes before the shit hits the fan! SMH ! WOW !

@ ppl complaining about votes - I believe the site is proofed,cz that cookie deleting aint working. I could try and explain,bt there'll be too much IT jargon.

@ Mr C - co-sign..nt becuz of my nomination,bt Im sick of ppl having too much to say without appreciative.

My father-in-law once said,if there's something wrong that U feel,dnt try and source it out bt wait till it comes to you. In short,if theres something HYPE is doing,it'll bite them...nt you!

Okay, then please explain to me why I have voted for Rasty as best writer 5 times already.

I just close my browser, which deletes my cookies and then I go back and vote again.

Simple as that. The votes mean nothing.

[DaT NiGGa P-DuB]

i think cats are complaining too much...

if u cant beat them then vote again...and again LOL

1. Do you have a Proxy?

2. Do you use a static IP?

This is where yo answer will be!

Figured. I connect through a proxy at work.

I'm gonna check it at home in a few hours. I use a static IP there.

[RearrangedReality]

heres what i just did:

1. clicked on connect

2. went to the site and voted

3. clicked disconnect

4. reconnected

5. went to the same category and voted again.



give me enough patience i could make an artist of my choice win all the categories they appear on.

[Dpleezy]

Yeah, I just tried it...

Preferences > Privacy > Remove individual cookies > hypemagazine.co.za > delete

It works.

The credibility of anyone who wins will be completely undermined. Mizi and Simone need to come up with a plan B pronto. I know that their hearts are in the right place, but this could turn into an ugly fiasco. Time to call in Deloitte.

I'm not sure that I understand why certain categories are 'judged' and others go on a public vote. What's that all about?

[The Angry Hand of God]

Yep, just voted again at home. And again, and again, and again.

[RearrangedReality]

I've just sent an email to them, i hope they'll get to read it and do something about this.

[watziznehmegin]

Yeah my bad Trompie, the first day it looked right, you feel me? But the system has really been abused at this point, and I found it rather upsetting that's all...

[rob_one]

Look, excuse me for being a luddite, but how does one prevent this little 'cookie deletion' bug? Is it to do with recording IP addresses?

[dat dude who happens to rap!]

I feel we went about this whole thing in the wrong way. I suggest they take the same approach that People mag did, you publish a double page of the artist and then ask the public to either fax or post the nomination list and from there you get your top 5. From the top 5 you open it to public voting and that should not count for more than 40%.

Seeing how some cats just vote for themselves day and night is disappointing cause then it defeats the perpose of the awards in the first place, I agree that some of those guys I have never heard of and some of the songs nominateed didnt even make on radio, so how the f*** do you nominate a song no one has heard?

[RearrangedReality]

The response is:

"Yes we’re fully aware of the risk with public voting. There will be a disclaimer that goes up on the website. In the instant that we sense a ma**ive ratio difference which looks suspicious, a judging panel will intervene and the situation will be investigated."

[The CHEF]

@Watz - I understand dunny...dnt stress.

@Bill - well, I guess they shud have tested it further. I for 1 tested,bt didn't even go that far. Maybe if votes were done with an input of email addys,then it wud have been great. Knowing that people are scared to give out their addys...ofcourse verification of them shud happen too...thats easy...a script like that cn take me 2 minutes to write.
