Congratulations to Nobara for winning the poll!

Nobara was very much ahead, but once again this was because the poll was fouled by the same bot.

I briefly considered disqualifying models with too many bots voting on them, but I realised this could be abused too easily.

The best decision for the time being is for me to keep an eye open in order to keep the voting and submissions open to everyone.

Nobara will be released next week along with this month's Bonus Poll winner.

Hate to say, but with it being that close it should have been disqualified. Accepting this just gave them what they wanted. It's sad and disappointing we can't have a fair vote because of this. I motion to disqualify any models voted on by bots until this stops, Even if we don't get a model at all.

Yeah it did go through my mind to do this, however I figured that this could be gamed in the future to knock a competitor off the poll. Previously, the same bot was voting in favor of the Genshin model. I disqualified all voting from the bot and none of it counted towards the final results here.

I think this needs to be invalidated or re-voted... No matter how much you think about it, it's strange that the votes jumped from 100 to 200. Just in the last vote, it was 19%, 11%, and 14%, but it went from 138 votes to 216, and it is strange that only two people changed much. I think there was a difference of 3% to 6% just yesterday, but it is strange that more than 50 people came in just a few hours and there is another difference.

The trouble with invalidating and re-voting is that it encourages more trolling behaviour where someone can just stall a poll or knock out a submission altogether by doing this. So in a way, doing it will skew the final results more. The bot votes accounted for around 50 votes this poll, and the rest looked to be natural by looking back at the voting records and general Patreon information. While a massive spike is suspicious, certain days and time-zones can cause a spike overnight purely due to user activiy.
