Things keep changing...

I personally have been confused about why Ben and Jerry's keeps changing things, so I emailed them to see what they had to say:

"I am confused about the way the flavor resurrect contest works. Why do the numbers reset every day? How is it possible to tell who is winning? How does the flavor win? Is it based on total leading days, or cumulative votes? Thanks!"

Their response:

"Micah,We've had problems with people hacking into the system to make their flavor #1. So from here on out we're only going to show votes for one day at a time. When you vote today, you will only see the votes that have gone in today. We'll know which flavor is winning on our end though, and we'll reveal that flavor at the end of the month. The end result of the contest will be based on accurate and fair reporting of individual votes.Thanks for understanding.Ben & Jerry's"

I thought that was a decent answer, however since then things have once again changed. Now it seems that they are only showing the results for the previous day. I am not sure how this prevents inappropriate voting, but I guess they have their reasons.

Everyone please keep up the good work. Thanks!
