Don't fret about those results. They are not the determiner of your belief. You can believe with or without those results! :)

The Note is always there. Maybe he just missed the vote button.
And they probably thought it was a glitch. <!-- s

I do not understand why TMZ wants to manipulate the votes. It is so unjust and so unfair to MJ fans. :(

I'm sorry, but the only ones who manipulated these poll results are the hoaxers. TMZ is not stupid. They only have to pull the database file for the poll to see that multiple votes came from the vary same IP address.

The weird thing about that is that when they put up this poll, they completely changed how their polling system worked. I've been doing polls on their site for years and it never used to let you vote more than once unless you cleared your cookies & cache. Now polls seem to always allow multiple votes. Why the switcheroo, when it was obviously a better system before?

It's not just on this poll that you can vote multiple times, it's not like it was changed especially for this one. Please go back and check other, older polls. Those accept multiple votes from the same IP address as well. The only thing you have to do is hit the refresh button on your browser, and then you can vote again.

No I agree, I know what you mean! I really think they changed the whole system somehow, but they did it fairly recently (maybe not with that particular poll but not long before that). I used to vote in the dumb "who would you rather" ones and got irritated at having to clear my browsing history to vote again. <!-- s

But you're right. I have tried to go back to lots of older ones and they now work the same way, where you can easily vote again.

The Believers manipulated the poll results, not TMZ.

Looks like a knowledge of an insider... :shock:

Anyone with any knowledge of php will tell you the very same thing. Millions of websites use the php scripting language, not just TMZ.

whatyourheartsays · May 2010

I think they just cleared it to get back to real results...before believers started to vote like nuts !

Anyway you realise we will NEVER reach 100% :ugeek:

Because we are not asking to vote to a definite numbre of person. As it's "open", the more votes we get, the more we must vote to get it 1% higher. So we will never reach 100% but 99,9% would have been fun :D

Thank you very much Mo and Jessica for explaining how the polls on TMZ operate. I do feel better now, and I can smile again. :) I just worry that MJ fans are hurt and sad. That makes me very sad! <!-- s

this is the recent poll results today 27th May

raphaelleanique · May 2010

If the pollresult should be kind of a hidden message to influence what people think about Mj being alive or not, I think the ALIVE thing should increase the closer we get to the day of revelation of the hoax!
