Majority of you people who commented on CL & Dj Dan don't even listen to those Djs or that particular genre of music (Trance) so i am curious to know how you come to a conclusion that they suck? |

Just for the record I've been listening to Christopher Lawrence DJ since the first time I saw him live in 2001 at Atlantis... and DJ Dan since 1999 at the BLC.
Hook Recordings (CL's label) was one of my all time favourite trance labels...
The comments we are making about them being in the TOP 10 are totally justified. The poll is a popularity contest, and on that note alone both DJ Dan (but mostly) CL are not in the same league as the others. It was clearly shady bull. |

i seriously LOL'd reading this .. but agree that they need to implement a more secure voting system
what's stopping someone from essentially sabotaging a DJ's run by running some script to enter thousands of invalid votes from an IP address and having that DJ disqualified?
This whole vote is becoming more and more of a farce..

my comment was mostly related back to the author of the thread a few others who immediately jumped on a bandwagon of "sabotaged voting, therefore sucks as a DJ", which clearly makes no sense
it's unclear from the article if the marketing manager was alone in this or if the Dj's actually were aware of anything
I agree though, that the poll has been increasingly becoming a complete farce |

this just shows what a joke side show djmag poll is |
What this shows is how big a deal being the number one DJ on djmag is to the DJs out there. |

i find it hard to believe that Dj Dan and CL were unaware of what the manager was doing..
did they really think they were superior to Sasha, Digweed and the rest of the Djs underneath them..?? |

That's a good point! Tell Tiesto to do that to PvD and Armin :D |

ps:TA poll is no more credible than djmag poll :p |
If you're stating that with respect to accuracy of submissions then I take offence - you can't rig the TA poll - simply because it's linked to your registered user ID and you're only allowed one vote. In terms of new registrations, it was only this year that I allowed them to vote whatsoever -- and those are put in a separate pool and if any off patterns exist then those will be removed from the others.
Further, whoever tried to cheat the DJ mag poll like that is an idiot.. First off, it's rather trivial to pick up public proxy lists that are country specific + attach them to public directories of names of people from said country - then you just randomize voting entry times/sequences/DJ names/'typos'/browser agents/etc to make entries look like they're coming from different computers/people. Obviously a random succession of votes from the same IP or a massive influx of votes for a particular DJ on a particular day(s) will fire off red flags... |
