I agree, there is no point in having top voter unless the glitch is fixed.
There is because people still do actually vote to get top voter. If you take out top voter the ones that do vote may not be inclined to vote since there is no reward. Taking out top voter does no good.

I think that if there is no incentive, even less people will vote. I mean, diamonds aren't that great but at least they're something.

That's a good point actually. I just hate feeling ripped off.

Doesn't votifier verify that a vote on a certain site has been made?

I used to play on another server, which had more voting sites.  I'm not sure if you had to pay to get your server on those sites though.  I can also check out what sites they are too, if need be.  But I was thinking, maybe opticraft goes on more voting sites? Maybe? Because the one I was just talking about had like 10 possible voting sites.  That's just a suggestion..

But it is quite sad to see opticrafters abusing the voting system!

Here are the stats for how people arrived on the website, for those doubting we need voting.

Voting for diamonds are rather useless if you have been here a while like I have, I still do vote and do the captiions if im not bussy but tbh voting takes forever, the tekkit server I play on has a picture and u just check the box with the right word, instead of a hard to see and read caption, just an idea

One of the sites we use has that, but its not up to us what they use.

Not only are exploiters taking diamonds from the servers the top voters that aren't legit are stealing real money from Optical In a sense.

Why don't we just use votifier? Doesn't it confirm votes with the voting sites?

Suggestion one:

I was playing this other server the other day (don't like it) but it had a good system, making you want to vote more, see there is this voting jackpot, they used a currency called credits, so you get 3 credits for voting but, very rarely there is a voting jackpot where instead of getting 3 credits you get 64 or something.

So I was thinking, maybe we could use this? Instead of 3 diamonds very rarely someone could hit the jackpot and get 10 or 30 diamonds, something like that, to increase the amount of voting.

But the only problem I see to this is the players abusing it... I do think the votifier thing should be added though, it will limit the amount of abusers.

Suggestion two:

Have more voting sites, since what optical and nick said before, we get a large s,isn't of our users coming from the voting sites.

Thanks for reading,
