Then down voters come in with 5 votes to bring it down to 6.5
Thank you Raze.
I am surprised that you fully comprehend what is going on and my boycott suggestion to prevent suffering the vote-down queue and yet you voted.

We cannot help <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" /> go up that way.
We need drastic measures to make the poll turn into a credible one.
Let the rating go down and only down until there are 50 down-votes and try me.
Let it go to “1.x” to drive the attention to what is going on, and cancel that poll altogether.
Let them feel how much <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" /> is really wanted regardless of the silly numbers that are manually manipulated and admitted with a shameless face.
