View Poll Results: Network Monitoring Application of the Year
It's posts like the last few single-post-user votes for Nagios XI that make you wonder if there should be a minimum posting limit before voting is allowed.
Obviously something going on here. It isn't even subtle! But I suppose it gets people in the door.
^ I have noticed that some users who don't post much or at all during the year, come out for the polls and say their piece(s). like the one from post #18: been here for 5 years, and their 3rd (!) post is to vote for nagios. Checking user history .... surprise, the 2 other posts were also votes for nagios! that's weird, and borderline spamming.
there's at least 3 more in this thread who seem to be suspiciously nagios-centric in their LQ contributions: jkohlbeck ludmilmm swilkerson
one of them even says "I'm prod to be part of the Nagios support team" - interesting...
I've been a UNIX user and admin since the 1990's.
I've check LQ occasionally every year but never felt the need to 'sign up'.
I have way too many memberships at all the various vendors already.
I signed up only because I would like to vote on the "Network Monitoring Application of the Year" poll.
I've used many corporate products and many FOSS solutions. I started with Big Brother a very long time ago.
I've tested (in a corporate network) GroundWork Monitor, Icinga, monit, Nagios, NagiosXI, OpenNMS, Shinken, Zabbix, and others.
Because I have posted here before doesn't mean I am without a worthwhile perspective.
However I do understand you concern about possible ballot stuffing.
That is an issue for ALL polls, and other types of voting.
