Yeah, I wanted to suggest what Phred said, except more objective.

Try an alternative messenger perhaps.

Preventing user accounts younger than two or so weeks would prevent vote farming. That and the IP thing would solve the problem.

And that is my suggestion, just 2 weeks shorter

I think one week would be enough, since this is about Game of the WEEK protection anyway.

So they could too TWO weeks in advance!

Eh, I guess Admins have the time to delete them then.

Na i think that one ip address per user will sort that out.. though ip addresses DO change so i'm not too sure what would go on there ? :\

Still, like the 2 week idea too

Please read the entire post. It was only two sentences long.

The time limit would be to prevent farming; that is visiting other forums and getting a bunch of people to vote for you (the problem with that being that they generally won't have played the other games, which nobody does anyway, but it's a major imbalance to the process in this case).
The IP limiting prevents the same person voting multiple times, whether they create the accounts in advance or not. That prevents scripts or manual puppet-voting, but it wouldn't solve the problem alone.
