A Best Finds Contest Story
Now this here one happened on another site, before I joined it, but I was told the facts from the site owner himself.
They had a Best Finds Contest. This was about 4 years ago or so. Members entered their best find and members were allowed to vote on the one they thought was the best. A certain person’s find was getting some votes and the site owner thought this is good the contest is popular. But the votes were really piling up for this one fellow, and the site owner noticed folks who had just joined that day were zipping down into the section where the contest voting was done. He did some checking things out and discovered that all the folks (user ids) that voted on a certain find, had the same computer ip address! The owner of the site contacted the person who entered said find and told him, “Not Here Pal!” The person’s find was tossed out of the contest and they never entered another one on that site. Did I mention that this person does post here on this site on rare occasions? I have not seen them post in awhile, but when they do it seems to always be in a certain section on the site here. Maybe down the road, I’ll mention which section it happens to be.
Like I said no names of other sites or parties will be posted.
