I have an idea that might make it to where multiple accounts are not even an issue (because the incentive to make them would be gone).

What if instead of having Pasta of the Month we had two things in place of it: Administrator's Pick and User's Choice. How it could work would be that only the admins and rollbackers/mods could vote on stories made by regular users (regular users could still nominate) that would be Administrator's Pick. For User's Choice we could have it to where users could nominate and vote between stories that were only made by admins and rollbackers/mods (admins and rollbackers/mods would sit out on this voting).

This would prevent anyone from being able to vote on their own stories and would thus prevent ballot stuffing. I don't think it would be a good idea to implement such a thing at this point in time, but I think it would be something to consider if ballot stuffing became a reoccurring issue and the only other choice would be to end Pasta of the Month. I hope I got my idea across clearly, I am not the best at explaining my thoughts.
