Looks like someone really pissed you off. Who?

mr_blue requested it to be, please read his post dated 10,May,18.

Move over, dammit, don't take up all the space!

I asked him to put it in the dumpster.
Fed up of people just talking shit about other people in my threads...

🧐🙁

Hey, this is just a suggestion, greet the new members with something like this;


( ✿ Y ✿ ) Hi and Welcome to ShowItOff, feel free to visit our page any time and don't forget to vote for us /pic_of_month.php?id=8719 STAY SUPER SEXY ✿countrycouple54✿

you have a gorgeous wife,,,and she doesn't need a trophy to prove it but, in a contest it's who comes in first, not who is better,,,i happen to like Lyx, but i think if you want to give her an honest win then you should continue to fight for 1st place,

Bang on Bella, I have been talking to a friend about this and the voting process seems to be tainted. I hope others will express there opinion so we can get a level playing field

I would remove any submitted photo where the member sent out spam messages asking other members to vote for them. Generally I just ignore and delete these messages, but there are too many of them.

Usually 100 votes is enough to win that POTM contest in the past. Right now, we are guilty of asking for votes on SYC side. I think that should be obvious to everyone. When you see voting going up in to the 700's, c'mon you all know what's going on. But when we seen the Walrus go up 122 votes in 30 minutes. Game on bitch. Now we are doing it out of spite just to maybe show the Walrus she doesn't run this damn site. So are we guilty, you're damn right. Did we start it, absolutely not. But I refuse to sit around and watch Jaba beat up on everyone with her minions. Does any really think there are 700 guys voting for her pimply ass if they weren't told to. So fuck it. You gotta play the game or let her take over the site. I have always stuck up for the real girls on this site. And yes shit is not fair. But the only thing I can think of is trying to shut them down by playing their own game. Same as when a certain male member posts other girls pics on SYC POTM and wins. Why should he win, it wasn't his pic? But I guess in some eyes that makes us part of the problem. So we can either play the game and give it hell, or lay down and continue to watch what happens month after month. Hope some of this made sense.

I COMPLETELY agree with this! Seems the whole voting system is flawed. It is definitely an issue. I ran for pic of month sometime last fall. I did end up winning, but it was a quite grueling process.

I started by asking my friends and contacts to help vote for me. It soon became clear, however, that my competition was going on a site wide campaign asking for votes. My reaction? Well... what the hell?... I've come this far. Might as well go big or go home. I crafted a polite message asking for votes and offered help in return. Most members were awesome about it, but I did encounter some who were offended by my asking (including a few who blacklisted).

I was, essentially, scrolling through the "members online" section on a daily basis towards the end, frantically sending out requests as fast as I could. I only just barely came out on top. My competition didn't bow out until the last few hours of voting. It ended up being a very trying experience!!

On the plus side, running for pic of the month gave my page more exposure on the site than I've ever had. The pic I was running with still has the largest number of views to date. On the down side, feeling like I needed to relentlessly ask for votes on a daily basis took all the fun out of being here. It was so exhausting that I took a break from the site for a few months. Sure, I could have decided it wasn't worth it and left it at that. However, I was still relatively new here and felt challenged to win my first POTM trophy. I've yet to re-enter for POTM for these reasons.

Hopefully something can be done to even out the playing field, as you say. I think part of the problem is that unless a member requests another to vote, most members don't seem to visit the POTM section or feel motivated to vote in general. Aside from the lead 2 or 3, most submissions have less than 50 overall votes and the majority are less than 20. Perhaps the site could provide some incentive to all members, such as offering a once daily point bonus for voting for POTM. This would drive traffic to the POTM section and possibly negate the need for people to feel that they need to ask for votes. I also agree that something needs to be done with the [NOT] vote. Either remove it completely, or perhaps they could design it so that giving a [NOT] vote would require spending a certain amount of points. Well... those are my thoughts on the matter!

I thought this topic was deserving of it's own forum post. /forum/thread.php?id=26576&p=1#t449795. Please cum on by and post your suggestions!!

Not just you, it does the same thing to me too no matter how exact you type it. I wonder if the stars "*" on each end mess with the html coding or something?

So did I understand you to say that the 5'3" oompa loompa voted on your picture even though you have been blacklisted by said oompa loompa? That's wild!
