can't wait for the new homepage
probably will be much worse than this according to the previous design change

Yes, priorities exist in real life, who knew?
BTW, it's not like adding a fix is as easy as you think of it. Whenever we have to release a software patch for our products, it takes a couple of weeks to run our regression tests to make sure no new bugs are introduced. Groupees probably won't take as long, but it's not something they can fix before the end of the bundle anyways.

It's not the "we can't do it now" but more the attitude in general that seems to be the issue. Not only can people spam trash votes but it's not even restricted to purchasers which would also be ideal.
If making money is their concern then they need a "working" product. If they piss off the customers they'll have no profit and it won't only effect the music bundles. In fact, the music bundles are almost entirely profit as they don't pay the artists involved like they do with devs/pubs in game bundles.

The problem right now is that all the devs are swamped with getting the new design stuff done as soon as possible, then move on to the next important thing (which would be security enhancements). There really is no manpower left to deal with the blog. I would try to fix it, but I don't have the credentials to get in and make sweeping changes (I don't even have push access to the main repo, go figure). In the grand scheme of things, the blog is just not that important to drop everything and fix. While I would like a change in priorities so operational stuff gets taken care of before new stuff, I don't have a say in it. Basically, unless the servers are on fire, there's a plan to stick to and the devs are going to do what they're told and paid to do. Everything that needs to be done is put in a list, and will be dealt with when it's their turn.

Where did you get that idea from?

why not just use a third party poll, is that so hard?

its funny cause the actual winner of the poll was the poll stating that polls was broken, i contacted one of the artists in the bundle that was making the cover for pokemon and they said they had a talk with the groupees guys about it, they where really nice and stated that they might do a real song that was in the polls as well. but i surely will not by purchasing again, i'd rather pay the actual artists for their work if i see another music bundle on there, cause this last one introduced me to great artists

So I purchased the synthwave bundle 3 and they have bonuses if you hit goals, the bonuses where another small album a remix from one artist and a cover of a song from another.
but the developers at groupees stated to me that they're home page (them making more money) is more important than people spamming the polls cause they can easily hit refresh on their browser and get to vote again
"im asking why they dont fix the fact you can vote multiple times, as someone trolled and voted 150 times for pokemon theme

Because it's probably lowest priority on the devs' list of things to do.

"fixing the trolling of special bonus's that are voted for by the people who pay for the product" shouldn't be low
cyanicGroupees HQ20:54
Unfortunately, devs' list is to prioritize whatever they're currently assigned, which is currently the new home page.
cyanicGroupees HQ20:55
So that's going to get done, then the most urgent thing, and whatever else will get done when they get done."
just though that might be something worth mentioning, also so pissed that I want to make sure people know how they run stuff there
