Well a through and through Broznan fan wouldn't understand what a classic Bond film is all about now would they? Goldfinger single handedly made the series the powerhouse that it has become and for that alone he deserves better respect! And he does a lot more than the later scene. He cheats at cards and golf, kills a girl by covering her in gold paint, single handedly uses the US mob and then kills all of them so that he can undertake perhaps the most ambitious scheme of the series by knowing off Fort Knox. Goldfinger is an +A villain and he deserves much, much better than an 11th place finish...
Excuse me, but I'm not just a "Brosnan fan." I'm a "Bond" fan. I love everything Bond. I own all the films. I have over 50 VHS tapes that are all Bond movies, given to me by my late father. I own all the Special Edition and Ultimate edition DVD's. I own every Bond soundtrack, even bootleg soundtracks. So I can understand what any Bond film is based on my extreme love of James Bond. Honestly Goldfinger is highly overrated. From Russia With Love is a more interesting and entertaining film. So before you judge my fandom based on the Bond actor I like most, I think you should calm down and realize this is a Game of chance and selection. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and views.
But Goldfinger is not the "most widely beloved beloved Bond villain". People have their preferences, in which Goldfinger is yours.

My point though, as was @Birdlesons was that there has clearly been cheating going on which has unfairly targeted Goldfinger, and that is a damn shame because among most Bond fans he holds a higher esteem than he is receiving in this crooked game!
It is exactly just that: a game. If there has been cheating (which I suspect there has) then it is a shame, but I'm not going to lose sleep about it.
That's because the cheating hasn't been against a character you care about, but has instead been against one that you find overrated. I tell you, if the cheating had been against a cult character like 006 or your beloved Zorin, it would be others here making a fuss about it but apparently I'm the only one who's going to stand up for Goldfinger and attempt to regain the votes he lost so unfairly!!!

No, I wouldn't care. I know that Zorin will be the next to go after Goldfinger, but I'm not going to try to save him because there is no point. If people were illegitimately reducting points from my "beloved" Zorin, I still wouldn't care! It's just a game!
Because there is absolutely nothing we can do to stop the cheaters. Sure, it's a shame that some have chosen to cheat, but it hasn't severely affected the game (which is still lots of fun).

As a point of reference Dominic Greene is a Villian I would put in my top ten yet I have lost no sleep and have been quite fine in spite if him being the third to be eliminated.

Exactly! The issue is that there has been cheating, and it is resulting in the pre-mature elimination of a widely popular villain, Goldfinger. It just happens that he's on of my favorites and personally I do lose sleep over it because I know his impending demise is the result of mass fraud...
