The value of the voting system for Gamespot events such as the recent Godzilla battle and the 11th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards is diluted when it requires cookies, because I can vote for my favorite title multiple times. I do not know the inner workings of GS, but this should be somehow tied to our accounts so that nobody can vote more than once, as it was with the Mortal Kombat and similar votes.

Happy gaming,

Boz

If you clear cookies you are allowed to vote again. So if you, like me, clear cookies every time you close your browser, you can effectively vote as many times as you would like. :roll:

yeah it should log your username or something. I remember voting a couple times, but i thought it was a vote once a day event. I'm with Boz and have firefox/safari clear everything out everytime i close my browser.

There must be some difficulty in linking the voting data to accounts, or I would think Gamespot would have integrated this with all its voting. Any thoughts?
