Voting bug.
When you go to vote for the server, you don't actually have to fill out the capcha on the voting website. You just have to hit the vote button on the Smolderforge website, exit out of the pop up window, refresh Smolderforge. And you receive your points. Is anyone else getting this bug?

There's no way to force people to fill in the captcha code, you can just hope that they actually do that.

Re: Voting bug.
Iirc, resonancewow voting system was attributing points only after filling up the captcha.

Re: Voting bug.
We're aware of this, but only about one voting site supports URL callbacks. Essentially voting was never implemented to be a reward system. People made it become that. So people rewarded them based on going to the site in the hopes they fill out the CAPTCHA. OpenWoW does support URL calling back and therefore making it possible to know that you voted. Other ways around this are making the players click on the banner to return to the site.
I'll probably bug Adam to implement it in the future when we upgrade the website infrastructure right now. It's not a bug or an exploit, it's always been this way. Most servers have. I just simply hope you really do fill them out, because if you don't, you're not helping the server gain visibility, and you're just being an asshole by taking the free rewards.
