Only four or five of the names on the thread have ever been helpful to the primary mission of the site. Many have been "members" for less than a month before all this began. This is the vaunted "community" in which you wish to place your faith.

You got exactly what you asked for which is what passes for "democracy" on the internet. So, you want to count all the votes? Works for me.

I really don't think Wikia Support cares either way. Just like they wouldn't care if it came to a demotion vote (though, let's hope that doesn't happen). I was just trying to make the vote as fair as possible.

However, you're not fooling anyone. Everyone with two or more brain cells to rub together will know which accounts are likely fake, and which are not, and know that one or two individuals are responsible. You know, that it IS not a representation of everyone on this site. So your "SEE, THIS IS HOW CRAPPY VOTING ONLINE IS!!!" shtick is pretty transparent. Let's just hope most don't realize how insulting your perspective to the community as a whole, when they reach that conclusion.

BUT, we'll just count the votes straight, and I'll provide a link to this conversation, so that everyone knows it was not my call.

Cheers.
