Does not work when others vote? #1

Open lilelduque23 opened 7 years ago

lilelduque23 commented 7 years ago

When others are voting, I find I get a constant recall of "Voted" into the thousands, but there is no actual movement in percentage. I know it is possible to get multiple votes in either (1) no one else is voting and run the script (times out at 25 votes and repeat again after 70 second rest period) or (2) even with others voting, vote 25 with refreshes on a browser that doesn't save cookies (possible with multiple machines)

poll_id = 9599861 answer_id = 43865243

Any help or clarification is appreciated. Thank you.

What exactly do you mean by "when others are voting"? Also, Can you give me more details on your setup. Are you using proxies? AWS?

lilelduque23 commented 7 years ago

You can see someone else is voting because their percentage is going up while yours is going down despite getting your own votes in. So votes from the script don't seem to count when the other person is voting, despite it saying "Voted"

The only thing I input into your script was the poll_id, choices, number_of_votes.

Ensure that the Polldaddy actually allows you to vote multiple times. This script is not tested for polls where the number of votes are limited. Based on your description, is it possible that you have just entered the answer_id of another entry?

I can definitely vote multiple times as I do that with the browser. The script does work, I've seen it vote and then lockout (percentage goes up), but then stops working (just showing Voted repeatedly). If I keep voting by browser, I can get the vote count back up. Not sure why browser works vs not script. I assume it has something to do with the opponent voting, but I could be wrong.

For me, the poll that you linked to at www.polldaddy.com/poll/9599861 saves a cookie preventing me from voting more than once.
