I think me and 80% of people actually didn't know who Tegan and Sara were until they were in MMM

I really don't know nothing about them.

Yet again TH almost has 99 percent....I wonder what will happen when they go up against(from what it looks like) The strokes

Posted

A 99% is so strange...

Something really strange happened to me when I tried to vote for GD :sherlock:
I got his error after I entered the captcha & clicked "vote":

(^It was a window like "Captcha was incorrect" or "We have received too many votes from you. ....")
I clicked "ok" and I could vote again. :mellow: maybe it's not so important and has only happened to me, but I wanted to mention it.

btw. OUR % INCREASES! :runaround::dance: YEAHHH!

A 99% is so strange...

Yes :sherlock:

Now they put in those stupid captchas, now Metallica won't get any votes, because they have a lot of fans, but all of their fans are old and can't get captchas to work so they give up. And Tokio Hotel sucks so much dick. Has anyone here actually listened to their music? It sucks

Is there any way to get around the captchas and vote normally? It's a pain in the ass to type words every vote

Yeah, at least they could have made it appear from time to time, this isn't fun =/ Now I don't vote as much as before.

Guys there's a very useful trick to help you speed-up voting!

MTV uses google capcha system which was designed to help digitize books (http://www.google.com/recaptcha/learnmore). So when you get capcha, there're two words - one is more clear and well-written (it comes from a book) and another is all distorted and hard to read - it's the capcha itself. You can skip well-written word and capcha still will work! Capcha obviously can't check the word that came from book so there's no need to waste your time writing it.

Reposting this for others to see. :D

Correct me if I´m wrong but wasn´t there another page last year where you could vote besides the original MTV page?

maybe this is without captchas?

sometimes I see that the captcha that I entered is exactly as it's written on the pic, but the site tells me it's wrong,

and sometimes, just before I click "vote" I notice that I fucked up , but it still works fine ...

Warning, some people may find the following disturbingly nerdy and uninteresting:

That's actually because the captcha system they're using is used to read scanned text that computers actually cannot read.

It shows you word of which it knows what it says, and one of which it doesn't know. When you correctly enter the word that the system knows it adds the other word you wrote into a database and compares it to what other people wrote, which helps the system find out what the unreadable text says.

So they're solving 2 problems at once, keeping out bots, and indexing what that unreadable scanned text says.

You may also sometimes see this captcha system showing you a photo of a home number (haven't seen it on MMM yet, only on other sites), this is to help Google find out which home number is located where in a street using the photos from street view.

tl;dr: If you don't feel like being a nice person, you can pretty safely make small mistakes in the most unreadable parts of these words, the system often doesn't know what it says anyway.

edit: I actually noticed it became better at detecting what the unreadable words say, you used to be able to fill in complete gibberish for the most unreadable of the 2 words and it'd work fine, now it seems I can only fuck up a letter or 2 before it complains.

Oh, Thank you March Madness for bringing me the knowledge of the capcha science :D

Has anyone else looked through the comments and stuff. A lot of the Tokyo Hotel fans or "Aliens" as they call themselves are extremely arrogant and awful to the other bands that they are up against. Lack of respect on their end.

Yes exactly that's why we want them out but it's going to be rough.

''Aliens''? This is an awful name I prefer being an Idiot. :lol:
