I'm sure theres a better name for this, but if you think that someone has voted maliciously how do you go about asking the powers that be for the votes to be 'swept' on a story?
You may not have to do anything....
Laurel / Manu run sweeps about once a week that gets rid of malicious votes. And if there is a contest in progress the might even be run daily.
You may find that before you can PM Laurel the vote has been swept already.
I woke up this morning to find one of my chapters (the one that flirts with the Hall of Fame) has dropped from 4.82 to 4.72. I was baffled, all my other story scores had crept up. Then I looked at the category and the hall of fame hadn't updated as fast as my submission page so I could see my earlier score had put me at 17.
I'm used to my chapters being bombed when they make onto the HOF I'm sure that happens to all the stories there, I don't usually bother reporting it but it would have been nice to have more than just a few hours up there first (and usually the vote pulls me down but only by a dozen places so i creep back up eventually, this must be multiple votes because now i don't even feature on there).
But it isn't typical of what is found in the highest-rated sci-fi stories on this site--it's dark and ugly and full of bite and bile--

The HOF is target practice. I don't think its so much the other authors as their 'protective' fan base.
my SWB series was high scoring in incest, but low vote counts. I had a lot of 4.80-4.84's but they never made the all time list due to not having the 100 votes
So for well over a year the scores would stay there an creep higher. The second they hit 100+ votes and showed up on the top list, I would take a half dozen bombs to knock it into the 4.7's
I believe their are little nasty hit men who scope those lists daily.
