    rate phones according to your reviews.divide the rating into two sections,one for gsmarena rating and one for public.display phones as per your ratings and let the general rating be the secondary one.users can view phones as per your ratings and the secondary rating may act as cross refrence.no need to reset the ratings as it shows what users are currently thinking but add your rating as the primary one.

      The Users Must Enter The Email Addresses of his or her and enter the imei no of the phone they own and nationality of that person to qualify for the vote system.

        the user must own the phone you vote for it to tell the others the good and bad in the phone so the user must enter the ime no. of his phone and you chick it in the ime organization and you can offer free app to the users for helping yours

          I think you should post your rating also ..it will be a great help ...it should be like this
          First -- gsm arena personal rating ..
          Second -- readers rating / user rating
          And if there is very little difference between the two , then it will prove that the phone is actually good ..

            Since you asked for our help and considering that the current vote system has become just a war tool for the fanboys, my opinion , which by the way I do not know if someone else suggested before me, as I did not read the previous posts, is the following:

            One vote per person (user/IP) per phone (in subject) per life (or 1 year, or other long interval of time). I do not see any reason, why people can use more than 1 vote. 1 vote is 1 opinion and I cannot imagine why someone voting 10 or 1 in a line today for a phone would not vote the same tomorrow. In the end you will not have the same number of votes like today, but you will have a much more correct evaluation of the phones.

            IMHO I believe this solution could solve the issue.

            My best regards,
            Robert

              limit votes per account.

              like 1-3 votes per account in a day.

                The 3rd system is actually a better fool proof method and it will ensure a proper voting system.

                      Of course, the IMEI/serial number WILL NOT be disclosed and only be used against a database to see if the phone IMEI/serial number was used to vote at least once.

                        Vote for a phone only if you can give the IMEI/Serial number of the device.

                            I think you should introduce sms facility here. who ever wants to vote will be sent an a code in sms then he/she should write that code and vote, in that way he/she will be able to cast only single vote against that phone.

                                the best way is to make your own committee of techies and vote. afterall you cannot fraud yourselves. moreover you know more than others out there...

                                  im my young teenage day i have been VERY silly... hacking.... SAD I KNOW!

                                  ... hmmm... ermm, lets say my user name is;

                                  MY Username: ABC
                                  MY IP adress:666

                                  if i vote it gets logged against both of the above, so i can not vote again! per Mobile phone.

                                  if the following user comes along...

                                  USER 1: Username: XYZ
                                  USER 1: address:666

                                  and tries to vote on the same phone he will get denied...
                                  Because your system will now logg

                                  MY Username: ABC
                                  USER 1: Username: XYZ
                                  USER 1: address:666

                                  as the same user! like wise if,

                                  USER 1: Username: XYZ
                                  USER 1: address: 999

                                  tries to vote... same again NO VOTE allowed on that page as the system has now logged,

                                  MY Username: ABC
                                  MY IP adress:666

                                  USER 1: Username: XYZ
                                  USER 1: address:666

                                  USER 1: Username: XYZ
                                  USER 1: address: 999

                                  as the same user...

                                  get what i am saying? the system automatically links username and IP address with other username and ip address's sharing the same values and take see it as 1 user!

                                  ALSO! a feature like google should be implemented, ie,

                                  A LIKE Button, A GSM LIKE button! SO you NEED A GSM ACCOUNT TO VOTE!

                                  no need to have fancy buttons just 1 vote... if you like the phone press the LIKE BUTTON.

                                        Scoop, 21 Apr 2012Thats amazing!! I agree.:)in pakistan i have seen sim sold for 25 rs ($.30 almost). Everyone have atleast 5 sims except some1 like me. A friend of mine had 9 sims in his sim pouch. Besides it will make hard for gsmarena to maintain votes and numbers of people.
