Title: Offering voting service is legal or not on this forum?
Post by: Le Petit Prince on February 03, 2016, 10:22:52 AM
I have a group of people doing professional voting service. Voting service could be useful in some cases in here my country. People accept it. But it means, you know, some kind of "cheating". So I'm wondering if I could offer this service here or not.

If most of you guys say "NO", I would never start it here but please don't be aggressive. Thank you.

I don't really understand your question...

You want to create alt accounts in order to influence votes on this board, and rent out this service?
In that case, it's against the rules, since alt accounts can not be used as shills. (you are allowed to have alt accounts, but you cannot use them to help your main account in an argument)

I think OP is asking if it is allowed to offer a service where you can buy votes for various internet sites.

For example, if you can vote for which song is the best in a certain country, then he can offer plenty of votes for a certain price to make that song possibly win.

Is this what you mean? If yes, then I do not think much is wrong with this.

Indeed, if this assumption is correct, it's allowed AFAIK (it's a service like many other services, for example, there are plenty of services offering youtube views and such)

As with many things: If you have to ask the question the answer is probably no.

The chances of your voting system being used for evil is high.

@BitHodler  Yes. That's what I mean.

@dogie  Haha. Yes, the evil is high but people might accept it though.
