Otsikko: Creating fake votes directly in the DB
Kirjoitti: kushalk - huhtikuu 13, 2014, 07:45:03 AP
Hi,
I am starting a new forum that will have a number of polls in it. In order to get some meaningful traffic to it, I am facing the classic chicken  and egg problem. I want to initially create some fake votes on some of the polls so as to make it look like lot of people are casting their votes and then drive traffic to it so that people can start voting. I want to do this only for some of the polls. What I am looking for is
-either a mod that lets me vote on the same poll again and again, as a guest or another user
-Some DB query that can simply inject the votes in the database for specific polls.

Grateful for your time.

thanks

How about creating a few member accounts, for yourself, so that you can vote multiple times?

Even simpler, set the poll so that users can submit multiple votes, perhaps?
