Well, it had nothing to do with being a moderator. Not everything I post is a "moderator" post - most are simple "member" posts which are simply my opinion on matters. That aside, let's say that I was voting in this thread and I was a huge fan of Zurich Zoo but I had already voted. Planckendael was starting to get ahead, so I created a new account and voted for Zurich to bump it up, and then I did that again. That is the issue I was addressing - nobody (apart for the moderators) can know whether an account which has been created solely to vote in the competition is some random person from elsewhere or just a current member playing games (not suggesting anyone in these threads would do that, but the point is that nobody could know).
