http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13750 Summary: AppDB votes system is being cheated Product: WineHQ Apps Database Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: appdb-unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: liquitsnake(a)gmx.net Currently, there are 2 apps with obviously fake votes. These are High Velocity Paintball (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=11442) Silencer (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9823) HVP has 2 test reports by teh same guy and no comments, yet it's listed that
100 have voted for this app. This smells awfully like someone is trying to cheat to get his app supported. Silencer also doesn't seem to be legit.
These apps currently reside on the frontpage of AppDB without any justification. It would be interesting to find out who voted for these apps and if they were added by a bot. For the future, I suggest a captcha for registration on AppDB. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
