I'm sorry, but c'mon. I'm tired of this. "
Theron" beat
Sterling in the second round, which I found odd; I literally made a note to keep an eye on
Theron in the next round to see if there were suspicious voting totals- well, it might be coincidence, but
Theron v.
Abraham in Round 3 (and the poll posted just before it) have the highest vote totals of all the polls so far. And again, wouldn't you know it, "
Theron" beat
Abraham by a single vote. Listen, there's nothing wrong with the name
Theron, but
Abraham is a millennia old Biblical name that is currently ranked #218 for boys in the U.S. this year. Maybe "
Theron" really just is a huge underdog, I'm just tired of this happening repeatedly. The exit polls don't reflect the poll results. I've been doing this long enough to see patterns, and I don't understand why someone would vote repeatedly to push their favorite names to the front. It's unfair to others, it's weird, and it defeats the purpose of what I'm doing.
If you are the person manipulating vote totals in the polls and you are reading this, I sincerely ask that you stop. Give the VPN a rest. Please.
Edit: I have asked user Dianatiger to please stop posting unusually antagonistic responses, but they will not. I don't know how else to deescalate this but to stop responding.
Me: I think someone might be up to something fishy with my polls, and if so, please cut it out, it's unfair
Them: YOU'RE INSANE
It's a weird response.
Edit 2 (9/2/24): I returned again to discuss that my suspicions have again been proven by this round's exit polls, and user Dianatiger appeared IMMEDIATELY to accuse me of being under the influence to even suggest this. I'm sober. I'm also not just suspicious of user Dianatiger, I think her behavior in this thread would qualify as bullying and harassment and I would like to please ask for their account(s) to be suspended.
Edit 3: Please remove user Dianatiger's account. She has broken the first three rules over and over and been incredibly cruel, but saying this-
"Gonna be honest: you being in recovery explains a LOT. Get some more help, because you need it." Where are the mods??? We're talking about NAMES, here, and this person is mocking my sobriety. PLEASE remove that account, and any duplicates they may have. That's disgusting to say to another human being, full stop.
