There is no way to fully prevent favoritism, like blahs said.
We could prevent Mod favoritism. We could just not vote on anything, which we usually don't, but at the same time, we're also members, can't we have some fun?
We can make voting anonymous. But isn't favoritism in voting a bit contradicting... either way, they're voting for their favorite. So claiming favoritism in voting is a bit pointless. Anyone can vote for whoever they want. You just have to have faith in the people, and hope that they're voting for their favorite screeny/sig/whatever they're voting for and not just voting for their friends. But when it comes down to it... we can't prove that they're just choosing their friends and we can't do anything about it. People can vote for whoever they please.
Now if someone was making alt accounts to vote, that'd be an issue.
