So, imo, I think anonymous voting is still overall a good thing. There are probably a couple of lurkers that just don't want to participate but do want see what others have to say about the music they like. If such people are out there, I wouldn't want them to feel excluded.

However, what has happened to this week's poll seems to be pretty obvious vote stuffing. When all of the regular voters had their say there was one very clear winner. Now somehow an entry with very few votes has moved up to first and the vote count is above norm? Yeah, that's obvious cheating. I absolutely would do that album if it won fair and square, but if we take this result as-is I'm dipping out that week in protest.

I think we can use common sense reason here in order to determine which album won fair and square. Hopefully that will be enough to tell the stuffer that they are wasting their time. If we have to change things up, though, then we have to change things up.
