           Summary: AppDB votes system is being cheated
           Product: WineHQ Apps Database
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: appdb-unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: liquitsnake at gmx.net


Currently, there are 2 apps with obviously fake votes. These are
High Velocity Paintball
(http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=11442)
Silencer (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9823)

HVP has 2 test reports by teh same guy and no comments, yet it's listed that
>100 have voted for this app. This smells awfully like someone is trying to
cheat to get his app supported.
Silencer also doesn't seem to be legit.

These apps currently reside on the frontpage of AppDB without any
justification. It would be interesting to find out who voted for these apps and
if they were added by a bot. For the future, I suggest a captcha for
registration on AppDB.
