A shame to see people try to mess up the PotM this way, when others are working so hard on their stories. Glad you found out there was cheating involved, because it was indeed fishy that a story of that quality got so many points. It ruins the reputation of PotM.

It's really hard to find suggestions in how to possibly increase the quality and reliability of the voting. Maybe if only the 1000 top ranked were allowed to vote? Then fake accounts wouldn't be so easy to vote with, since they have to be continually active. Or as others suggested by adding more categories.

I don't know, it is a really difficult matter.
