WDTPRS and the “Blogger’s Choice Award” for 2008

Something odd is happening at the "Blogger’s Choice Award" for 2008

A reader alerted me to what happened when the link on the left side bar to the "Blogger’s choice award" page for WDTPRS was clicked. 

 

A little before the voting for 2007 was ended, the people who run this award site expunged well over 100 votes from WDTPRS.  Also, all the nice comments that people had made after voting are gone as well. 

Either someone at Blogger’s Choice Awards doesn’t like this blog (which is unlikely), or WDTPRS was zeroed down because someone was voting multiple times from the same i.p. address.   That is cheating.  Who would want to win anything that way?

Now … a couple days ago, WDTPRS was well in the lead in the 2008 voting.  Now, the old entry is gone, and the entry for WDTPRS that is there and active is much farther down the list with many fewer votes.  This appears to be a brand new nomination.  

I am thinking that the old entry in use for the award was probably "banned" because, again, someone was doing WDTPRS a disservice by cheating.

Folks… why do that?  I do appreciate your support, but please, if you vote for WDTPRS, just vote once!

Someone probably cost WDTPRS a spot in the top three for 2007.

So, WDTPRS has again started from zero.

If you haven’t not recently voted, I would appreciate your support, but please abide by the rules and just vote once, from one registration.
