Hey, where's my tournament?
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

You should let people change votes until the match is closed, and then lock the thread once the match is over.

What would the point of that be? Are you selling your voting privilege to the new second account owner?

I've been aware of that, us mods see everything. I even know who is currently running it. I also know how many squares of TP you use to wipe your ass when you last took a shit. Don't worry, those haemorrhoids will go away on their own eventually.

Anyway, we'd just rather users vote once from their normal accounts. Voting isn't compulsory, but users shouldn't sell/give away their votes, as it detracts from the whole point of this thing.
