Forums » Issues » User boosting Millie Bobby Brown with various clone/bot accounts

Overtime, I've noticed that there has been an unnatural spike with Millie Bobby Brown. A user has been setting up clone and/or bot accounts to get her to the top of many roles for various different stories.

Take this thread as an example. What stands out to me is that Millie Bobby Brown is ahead of the second actress with over 50 votes. Once I clicked on MBB, I noticed that most of the accounts that voted for her are generic accounts without any profile pictures, suggestions, or stories. Some of these accounts even use very similar names, such as "mundostrangerthings1", "mundostrangerthings", and "amigosstrangerthings" Another set of similar usernames from these clone accounts are "familiapedrip", "brayanpedrip", and "anajuliapedrip". I also feel like the user "analuizamachadofranca1" may have something to do with it because their votes are also in the same boosted pollings, along with different variants of that same username.

Here are more examples:

The voting system on MyCast is compromised because users can set up tens and hundreds of fake accounts in order to get their picks to the top. This is deeply unfair and disappointing for everyone else.
This what is I've been trying to tell everyone for a long while. Back in 2021, really.
