Halloween Contest (Unofficial)

**DanielRH** · 11-04-2010, 05:59 AM

Hi,

Due to attempted cheating in the voting for the Halloween Contest hosted by Dizko, we (judges) had to close down the contest on the forums because it was too easy to cheat...

We decided that it was not fair to the honest people who put hard work into getting amazing pics.

We have constructed a secure anti cheating voting system, if ANYONE is found to be cheating (and we WILL know) their IP address will be banned, and their entry disqualified.

And anyone who is thinking that they could get around it with a proxy, their wrong, we have put in proxy detection which (when visiting from a proxy) automatically disables the voting system for that person.

DON'T TRY TO CHEAT!

It is a real shame that we had to do this, and we are NOT happy about it.

We where so put off that people would ruin the fun in it for their greed.

The prizes are being updated, their not going to be so grandiose as before because we decided that anyone who would like to participate now, will do so because its fun. NOT for greed...

Here is the link to the site that you can vote on a pic from.

I hope there are still honest people still out there...

I would like to thank our donors for helping supply the prizes, the prizes will be posted later today.

Have fun voting!!!

**DanielRH** · 11-04-2010, 07:35 AM

signing up new forum accounts and then voting, and doing that again and again

I dont want anyone to think i cheated, i just pointed out that kossi was in fact cheating.

**DanielRH** · 11-04-2010, 03:02 PM

We are not going to start pointing fingers, Nothing has been confirmed.

But we did move it to the new system to prevent any sort of cheating.

And congrats twink! Looks like ur currently winning the contest!
