How are RFO results kept accurate?

humanopinion employs various methods to keep your RFO results as accurate as possible. So how do we prevent one person 'voting' many times? You cannot partake in an RFO unless you are registered with humanopinion and logged in. This means to vote on an RFO many times a user must register many different times and then login and vote on this RFO many times also. For starters the hassle in doing this is huge! To have any significant effect on an RFO a user would have to go through all of this thousands of times! Furthermore humanopinion monitors the ISP address which a user registers with and if it is found, for example, to register A LOT of times sequentially the ISP address can be blocked from further registration.
As there are over 1 billion users on the internet we strongly believe that after these measures have been taken the accurate opinions will strongly out-weigh the fraudulent opinions which may slip through.

What is humanopinions policy on minors using the website?

All humanopinion users under the age of 16 are required to have a parent or guardians consent. We strongly encourage parents and guardians to have an active involvement in supervising their child’s use of the humanopinion website and the internet as a whole.
