"Vote Chess" Hijinks

So, how easy would it be to jump on a public computer, or use a free wireless connexion at a coffee shop or someplace, and

1) quickly register a handful of free email adresses,

2) create new chess.com accounts using these addresses,

and

3) enter all these newly-created accounts on the same vote chess team and have them vote en masse for an obvious blunder that sinks the team?

When the administration here at the site goes to track down the IP of the new accounts, all they will turn up is the coffee shop, and the perpretator gets off scot free...

Does this stuff go on very often?  Can anyone think of when this has happened before? 

Please discuss.

Actually, with the lack of a Turing test when creating an account (a turing test is a method of telling the difference between a person and a computer, i.e. CAPTCHA) and the existence of lots of phony 5-minute email sites, you could probably make a program that does all of this for you. I'd bet with a decent internet connection you could make about 10 accounts per minute. If you choose a time when admins are not awake, you could probably do this for 5-7 hours, which is quite a few accounts.

You could create a powerful army of evil minions.

Why even bother going to the coffee shop?  It's very easy to get multiple IP addresses from the comfort of your own home.  I doubt it happens very often.  What would be the point, they're just meaningless vote chess games.

D'Vivre, thanks for the link.  What makes the Nxc5 "blunder" interesting is that the hackers only still prevailed by one "vote," 111-110.  Now that's some hollywood excitement, wouldn't ya say?

Really don't know what's there to gain by doing so. What a disgrace!

I am amazed, joey.  I read till I got to the point that sense started getting talked in that game linked and that was quite a while.  Brilliantly sporting play to agree a draw.
