It was not just about the “rigged” nomination system: It was also that the poll that decided the winner was biased.

The actual voting process after nomination used a standard wikia poll, since it provided anonymous voting and accurate results, but was flawed because it was required to use the same permissions used to determine who can contribute on the wiki. We have those set so everyone with or without a wikia account can edit pages, along with voting. This meant anyone could vote, so often the nominees would just ask their friends and clans to spam-vote for them. It was often the case that simply whoever had the largest clan won.

As for the new format, we’re simply going to feature the most popular article in terms of individual page views. We are currently excluding Werewolf Pack Rankings, since it has been the highest ranked page for months. We’re probably getting loads of traffic from people not interested in RuneScape.
