Is codeproject survey vote reviewed?

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more: (untagged)

One of my friends told me its very easy to give vote in codeproject. You just need to sign in with any email address and you will not need any confirmation to give vote. I also have tested this on this survey page . http://www.codeproject.com/script/Surveys/Results.aspx?srvid=1198&srverr=HasVoted[^] . I could change the survey result in this way but I did not give more vote because it is not ethical. And I thought after review by codeproject, number of votes will be reduced to actual votes filtering these kinds of wrong voting. But the result is same as before. That means anyone can play with voting system as codeproject is not reviewing votes as they have committed here.

can we know what type of review you do? is it logical to give vote just by signing with new email address?

Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.

Site Bugs / Suggestions[^] would probably have been a better place to post this, so you ensure that the CP staff see your post. I encourage you to do so.

That said here is my view, I don't see it as a problem, as I those surveys as more way of starting discussions/conversations then to gather any statistics.
I would however see it as a problem if this was possible when voting for articles, tips and solutions, but you have to have confirmed your email before you can vote on an article, and I expect the same goes for tips and solutions.
