He can down-vote every single guide on MOBAFire if he wants to. He can leave a comment saying "Flying pigs are kewl" with his vote if he wants to. As long as the comment is anything but abusive or rude the vote it LEGITIMATE. However, if we can prove that he's IP cheating he will be banned and all votes from him/them removed.

However, this is not the case.

Well, every freak with a tool like hotspot shield who discovers disposable email addresses can change the status quo of this site within a very short time if he had the necessary endurance and ambition...

Not really.

A member can only vote from his IP address ONCE. Regardless of accounts. "But he will just use a proxy!", well, most proxies on MOBAFire.com are BLOCKED, and the list is just growing and growing. Not to mention we have other tools at our disposal.

@Blowfeld, no they can't. Email addresses don't matter, IP addresses do. You can't make up IP addresses at will. You can try to use proxies but we are gradually blocking all of them to prevent this. You can attempt to use friends IPs but this is very limiting and we have ways of detecting this regardless.

You can't force someone to leave a meaningful comment. We've been over this a thousand times. If you try to force someone to comment that didn't want to, they are going to say something useless or possibly offensive. They came to vote, not comment. There are almost no voting systems out there that require you to explain your vote publicly, because that's the point, it's your freedom to safely and anonymously express your opinion.

We still allow authors to force the first 20 voters to comment because there was so much demand for it, but this kind of thing is going to happen as a result. You just have to live with it or turn off the feature.

@Raburi, and where are we going to get the army of unbiased people ready to volunteer their days to review all these votes and comments? And how exactly are they going to objectively and consistently determine who the honest voters are?

Please use the report system for issues like this in the future.
