Recently, I sent the following message to Laural:
The salient points of the response are quoted below:
Am I to interpret this to mean that 1-bombs are okay as long as they do not constitute a multiple vote?
Between 5/5 and 5/17, nine of my stories each received a single vote of one. During the same period, six others with two or three votes each had average votes of more than one point below long established averages, suggesting that there was a one vote in each of those as well. The other twelve of my stories had normal voting patterns for the same period. (The current lowest average vote on any of my twenty-seven stories is 4.11.)
What distinguishes these fifteen stories, and makes the voting on them even more suspect, is that, although these stories have been written at various times over the last eight years, every one of them features the same heroine. (None of the twelve having normal voting patterns has that same heroine.)
It is lamentable that anyone could be so despicable as to go though each of these fifteen stories and cast a vote having no relationship to the story itself. This needs to be addressed.
The affected stories are:
Clubbing and Tubbing;Thank you for your attention to this matter.
House of Glass, Chapters 1 through 8;
Kara is Bad!;
Summer of 18, parts 1 through 4; and
The Workout.

The salient points of the response are quoted below:
... We have a script that tags fraudulent votes (fraud votes being anytime someone tries to vote for a story more than once by trying to get around our system). ...
Do know in advance that we will not remove votes unless they appear to be fraud. ...
