Tie the users TWP accout with their steam account then to prevent voting themselves.

First guy tells the second guy, "My head hurts!" The second guy replied, "Stop thinking so much!" Then the first guy says, "I think that what caused my problem in the first place!" The second guy says, "Then stop banging you head against the wall!"

Not that I do vote for myself, but why can't people vote for themselves? Oh wait, never mind. Derp.

Crazy is as crazy does.

Implying that people do not have multiple steam/TWP account and that they are hard to make?

Blocking wont work, all you need to do is trade vote for vote for other maps.

I think if msleeper or whoever chooses say the top 10 of the week and then create a poll that only people with a couple of posts can vote on. That'll stop the spammers.

The point of this thread is to get an automated/user-powered way to get that list of top ten.

Anyway, I say we try to build a "Recommend for Spotlight" button into the phpBB Download mod and then have staff/Community Contributors go through the suggestions list and choose.

Of course, not knowing much about PHP at the moment this is probably a lot harder than I think it is.

How is "Recommend for Spotlight" different from a rating of 5?

If your going to automate throught the button you might as well just coding in the PHP that it chooses the higest rated/most downloaded map of the week and makes it spotlight.

Semi-automated. I would never put a fully automatic system into place for something like this.
