Rigged Slammy Voting
By Scott Keith on 10 December 2014
Hey Scott,
In this thread, an image from a user's phone was posted, and from what I can see, there doesn't seem to be any obvious Photoshopping done to the image. As someone who works on websites and apps an awful lot, that seems to be the case of someone coding two buttons together by accident in the case of Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns, as well as John Cena and Dean Ambrose. So basically, any one tapping a vote for Bryan was having their votes directed towards Reigns instead, and who knows which way the votes were going for Ambrose and Cena.
Any thoughts on this, since this seems to be a pretty obvious fuck up here, deliberate or not.
What's the point of rigging the vote? Why not just announce outright that Reigns won the vote and lie about it? Seems like that would be the easier solution. In the grand scheme of things does anyone really give a shit about who won this award "legitimately"? Not attacking you here, I'm just confused what the motive would be.
