I know that this has been looked at before, but people are cheating the voting scheme. alot. some people have the maximum votes possible (specifically top voters). people arnt actually voting for the server, they are just clicking the buttons and stopping the page from loading. and specifically because it doesnt require verification at all, people could make scripts to click the buttons for them. and the people who use the scripts (some top voters) are losing the server money by getting free donations. I think that opticraft should rethink voting or take it out. not to mention that diamonds have lost all value. top voters: {Currently max votes} http://www.opticraft.net/index.php/page,TopVoters.html

Honestly, we just need to change it, I think we should edit the website to warn people when they go to vote that they need to make sure to fill everything out. I think that would solve things for future players.

DeeKay:
3 of the voting sites are already linked with Votifier, right? Maybe Optical could just use a Votifier listener to reward the diamonds. You would be able keep some functionality of the vote buttons, such as the in-game vote reminder, but the rewards will just be handled via Votifier.

Few downsides to this is that the top voter list would be broken, as it wouldn't be an accurate indication of votes (unless it can somehow be hooked into Votifier). You could only be rewarded by 3 of the sites. And you could only receive the diamonds if you're in-game (unless you find a listener which supports offline voting).

Just food for thought. This seems like the only feasible option.

Awesomedude782:
Im sure the developers can get something that tracks when diamonds are rewarded that gets it in the top voter list. also great idea, probrobley make the other site non-rewarded.

iGenerator:
From what I've heard from opti is that they are just checking that you actually a user, but he hasn't connected to votifier
