If only you were in the top 5% you would have noticed I was joking ;p Edit: Oh come on. He's saying an editor would have blocked this poll. I posted the poll so I should be disqualified, but suggested that I be an editor. And based that on

Can I be an editor? I voted that I'm in the top 5%.

Maybe news.yc readers are above average, compared to those other people :) Or maybe they have heard about those other results and are intentionally voting for underrepresented options to make the poll come out less ridiculous. Or maybe vote

Yes, well, it could have been like that, but "exactly average" has taken the lead...

To see if the results come out heavily skewed or not.

Don't let that stop you. The rest of us don't know how to compare either.

The point is that people already consider it notable (which is why they are replying). When it's not notable, they'll ignore it.

I agree that voting with extra accounts is definitely bad. But a lot of the posters here are anonymous. If you wanted a site with no anonymous people, that's reasonable, but this is not that site.
