To be honest, for a moderator I find this a rather disappointing position.

Is there a rule which prevents new members from voting?Or perhaps there's also one to prevent, let's say members-with-less-than-250-messages, in which case I sincerely apologise for taking part of this competition.
Seborga probably read about this competition on the Belgian forum and therefore become a member. Isn't that one of the purposes of any thread in this excellent community: attracking new members who are devoted to zoos? And yes, as Vision already mentioned, he is a very active member on Laafse Kikkers, and yes he likes Planckendael a lot. So what? This game is about miscellaneous mammals: any vote on Planckendael in this category should hold as fake, false, against the rules nor the spirit of this game.

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).
