The reasons why I dislike and distrust anything facebook-and-friends-related are mine, so I won't list them, but they are many.
The reasons why CCP decided to drive this contest only through facebook are their, and I don't care.
The fact is that a lot of us are obviously upset by this move, and I feel particularly sorry for the people who spent so many hours designing those 47 great hulls --- as in "numerous unpaid work hours", yes --- that their work ends up in such a trashcan. In fact, I haven't even cared to take a look at them since this "facebook account mandatory" condition was stated.
Possible alternatives have already been stated in this thread.
Also, Mister MacCloud, you've stated that you don't see anything wrong with the way this contest is held, which is just fine. But your trying to argument indifinetly with other people is getting annoying and, I feel, quite insulting. Windjammer, if you will please stop feeding the troll.

That CCP employee who decided to use Failbook to vote MUST be fired immediately.
I'd rather go with a good spanking. The whole department.

I'm not even using EVE Gate because it's just another stupid social web thinggy,
I personnaly find it really helpful to handle evemails outside of the game client.

and seriously if you are not surfing the web with sufficient up to date virus software and anti-malware/spyware software then ur a complete fool and should expect your emails to be hacked, your digital identity to be stolen and your bank accounts to be drained of funds illegally.
Since there's no such thing as hacking the plain text stream an email is, I take it you're not familiar enough with network security to even care to have you know how not familiar you are with network security.

We (CSM5) argued against this facebook only voting system but in the end this is a marketing driven decision and CCP have a hard on for facebook right now.
It's always great to get CSM's opinion, thanks. And please, tread on the toes of the person who decided that it would be facebook-only when you see him/her ;-P

So who's gonna stop the folks who decide to create >9K fake facebook accounts to influence the results?
Don't hint me too much, please... ten years ago, a group of friends and I got the whole IP range of our university banned from a charity website in such a way. It was the "1M clicks in a fortnight and we'll dig X wells in africa" kind of stuff. We elaborated and nohup'ed wget loop based shell scripts (with a slight sleep, we're not animals ;-) on every single machine we had access to --- and there was plenty of it. They nearly got their quorum in 2 days. (For the record, they banned us but didn't discard our "clicks" ;-)
