As some other serious members of SYD observed its strange with the negative vote option in the Pic of the month contest. I dont request all should vote on me but its sad to see all those negative votes. Well, thats obviously part of the rules and its of course volunteer to participate but I really consider to not participate in future because the unbalanced votes.
Anyway, good luck to all who participate, after all a lot of friends there!
I completely agree and have the same happen to me as you every month (i got 21 negatives last month to only 88 positives). I vote ✅ for everyone that is my friend (you included, every month) and don’t vote at all on those i don’t know. In the end, you/me/blue come far seconds to those who sink to begging for votes. I think some even have networks that land them 30-80 automatic ✅votes).
I don’t see that changing in the near future - there’s no way of preventing it. I prefer silver to gold anyway, it suits my style betterlol... but yeah, it would be nice if you/blue/i/any other first time winner (that doesn’t spam PM) had a fair competition to compete in and got a win👍👍👍🤝🥃.
P.S.: There was something that really pissed me off in August’s POTM that doesn’t involve the stuff you said, or blue said or i said above:
I posted a blog encouraging people to vote for a member who hadn’t one before...i named the members who are my friends and who hadn’t won (you, several of my other friends and I) - as soon as i did that, the PM spammer who was winning got a tonne of ✅s and you/I/my other friends that hadn’t won got a tonne of 👎s. That is some bullshit when people who don’t like me for no justifiable/adult reason fuck my friends over too. That’s some vindictive and cynical shit!
I have no hope to win, ever - but still its nice and funny to particpate. I hope there are not too many negative votes.
So when I get asked to vote by someone who has won over and over,I will vote "not" on that pic.
You tend to find that this place has a lot of silent trolls,as in,they look like nice people,but their competitive spirit shows what they really are...
I give you a hot vote anyway good luck
Supposed to be some fun,I try to see it that way,but having seen firsthand what people can get like with some competition,sometimes it's actually more fun watching people go nuts about the very thing they did themselves..
Soz,got a bit ranty...be lucky
