ULTRA VOTE / VOTE INTEGRITY
Trust score
Every vote receives a trust score from 0 to 100. It is not a judgment of you as a player: it is an abuse-risk signal used to keep rankings fair. The score starts from a base value, 50 by default, and is adjusted by server-side signals from your account, network, browser and recent voting activity. A vote is counted only when the final score reaches the pass threshold and no hard rule forces a review.
Account and identity
A consistent, verified account is the strongest positive signal. Signed-in accounts must verify their email before voting. Only the strongest linked sign-in method is counted.
| Signal | Points |
|---|---|
| Anonymous vote | −2 |
| Signed-in account | +6 |
| Verified email | +8 |
| Account at least 30 days old | +6 |
| Account at least 365 days old | +4 |
| TOTP two-factor authentication | +8 |
| Email two-factor authentication | +2 |
| Staff account | +10 |
| Google sign-in | +7 |
| Email and password sign-in | +6 |
| Telegram sign-in | +5 |
| Discord sign-in | +4 |
| Multiple linked sign-in methods | +3 |
| At least 3 votes in the last 30 days | +3 |
| Review decision in the last 30 days | −12 |
Network
The IP address is classified by an optional reputation provider, with reverse DNS as a fallback. Only the class and a keyed hash are stored; vote records never contain the raw address. A VPN is penalized less than a proxy or Tor; proxy and Tor force a review. An abuse score from 25 to 74 gives −5; 75 or more gives −12.
| Signal | Points |
|---|---|
| Residential connection | +8 |
| Mobile connection | +6 |
| Business connection | +3 |
| Education or government network | +4 |
| Hosting or datacenter connection | −18 |
| VPN connection | −10 |
| Proxy connection | −20 |
| Tor connection | −30 |
| Private or unroutable address | −6 |
| Unidentified network type | 0 |
| Moderate IP abuse history | −5 |
| High IP abuse history | −12 |
Browser signals
The vote form sends a small set of non-reversible browser signals. The server combines them into a keyed fingerprint. Raw canvas, audio and font data is never stored. Automation, repeated fingerprints and fingerprints shared by many networks or accounts lower the score. A browser becomes known after any vote in the last 90 days. It is considered shared above 3 networks (−10), widely shared above 10 networks (−18) and linked to many accounts above 5 accounts (−8). Browser velocity triggers at 6 votes/hour (−20) and 12 votes/hour (−35). A vote under 1.2 s is too fast (−10) and under 3 s is fast (−4).
| Signal | Points |
|---|---|
| No browser signals | −5 |
| Known browser | +3 |
| Browser used on several networks | −10 |
| Browser used on many networks | −18 |
| Browser linked to many accounts | −8 |
| Too many votes from this browser | −20 / −35 |
| Automation detected | −35 |
| Browser identity mismatch | −12 |
| Vote sent too fast | −10 |
| Vote sent quickly | −4 |
| No page interaction | −3 |
| Cookies disabled | −4 |
| Missing platform signal | −2 |
| Missing screen signal | −2 |
Recent activity
These counters describe recent votes, not you in general. The current vote is not included. A specific server can also apply a nearby-address burst penalty when you vote. Network velocity starts at 30 votes/hour, account velocity at 100 votes/day, and the nearby-address burst at 8 votes to the same server per hour from the same IPv4 /24 or IPv6 /48.
| Signal | Points |
|---|---|
| Too many votes from this network | −30 |
| Too many votes from this account | −40 |
| Too many votes to one server from nearby addresses | −12 |
When a vote is refused
The vote is counted only for an allow outcome. Anything else returns additional_verification_required and creates a moderation decision.
| Signal | Result |
|---|---|
| Score below the threshold | Review |
| Automation or a headless browser detected | Review |
| Proxy or Tor network | Review |
| Anonymous vote with too many votes from the network | Account verification required |
| Unverified email on a signed-in account | Vote blocked |
How to improve your score
- Sign in and verify your email.
- Enable TOTP in an authenticator app for a strong bonus.
- Use a normal residential or mobile connection. VPN is allowed but penalized; proxy and Tor are reviewed.
- Vote normally: spend a few seconds on the page, interact, and avoid automation.
- Keep one account and one browser. Shared fingerprints and shared networks reduce trust.
- If a decision seems wrong, contact moderation with the decision ID shown on the error.
Privacy and retention
The preview and the vote use the same signals. We store the final score, reason keys, IP class and keyed fingerprint hash with the vote or decision. Raw IP addresses, raw fingerprint values and raw canvas, audio or font data are never stored. Network and fingerprint identifiers are cleared after 90 days, and decisions are deleted after 90 days.

Questions
Is a low score a ban?
No. It only means the vote needs additional verification. You can still browse and use the site.
Does a VPN block me?
Not by itself. A VPN is a −10 penalty and does not force review. If a provider misclassifies your VPN as a proxy, a review is forced; sign in with a verified account or contact moderation.
Why is my score not 100?
The score is deliberately conservative. Even a strong account rarely reaches 100, and the total is clamped to that maximum.
Can I see the exact reasons?
Yes. The active factors table above shows every applied signal and its points. The same details are stored with the moderation decision.
Does the score follow me across servers?
Most signals are global. The nearby-address burst is server-specific, and the 1h15 cooldown is separate and per server.
