Yes, but I thought a reasonable amount of people with non-Japanese IPs were still able to vote in Saimoe 2008, with me being one of them for my first Saimoe voting experience (no idea for 2009 since I inadvertently skipped that one due to Touhou addiction that year). And so I mentioned my belief that the bans were less strict before 2010.

it wasn't a complete ban overnight but the ip bans became more restrictive after 07. At its height a normal match would have around 1300 to 1800 votes not counting the Premier matches which could range up to 4000+ votes. In comparison this years highest Vote Total in a single match is 1000.
