Samoa Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I mis-voted in a media room thread. I voted two, when I meant 5. Can that be corrected? :huh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/254002-mistake-in-thread-voting-how-to-correct-it/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veedems Veteran Posted December 8, 2004 Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2004 It's really a mute point. Instead of someone hacking the voting system for hours on end, why not just pay attention to what you click?
