So I guess you are restricted from voting for your own entry?
And if you don't vote, you can't see how many votes the other entries have received... So, basically you can't see whose winning in the category you've entered. Bummer. Or are we doing this wrong?
:behave
not sure if anyone has noticed it......but it seems that several male contestants are listed in the female category and not the male category
It sucks I can't vote at all right now cause I'm on my iPhone and it won't let me open the galleries and there is no view as we page instead of the mobile view it gives me.
So, can we not vote for ourselves? And one vote in each category per user i take it?
Sorry if this has been asked already.
My friends are signing up for accounts to be able to vote but can't figure out how to vote,lol. Do they just comment or what?
I couldn't figure it out either...
Also, how long does voting last?
well, no anonymous vote :/ i kinda have a problem with that.
im not usually a fan of people knowing what i pick.
Nevermind -- I figured it out.
so every voter has to make an account?

Its a good theory since one could cheat, but by your plan they could still cheat, they would just need to plan ahead... doesn't really solve much. As it is, it is difficult to get folks to come vote making them come twice doesn't make it any easier. besides, this is actually a good plan. with people signing up, they might see something here that hooks them and then they can join our nerdy ranks.We should change it so that next year you can't place a vote if you're not registered before the contest starts.
In my opinion, anyone being able to sign up and vote is just as bad as having open voting like two years ago, there's just one more step involved.
bummer... I get the point of doing it, but honestly, the one vote... i seriously doubt its going to be that close. although i tell ya, that would be a knuckle biter!i been gettin a lot of vote for vote e-mails as well and that too ruins the fun
Yeah, I can see where you're coming from about driving people to the site. In the end, I figure that the amount of voters we have in the community would outweigh any new sign ups.
You could always calculate the "Honorable Mention" using pre-registered voters. Take the tops then subtract new registrants. Who knows, that probably wouldn't make a dent anyhow.
I could post on other forums, or on my facebook and have people come and register and boost my vote, but I choose not to because I think the RPF contest should be one of the more honest contests. Hell, most of us lose to "Giant Used Tampon" in real world contests, so a place like this, among our peers who scratch build and work hard, is a place to have a real chance to win.
Also, can I swap my gallery picture for one that's already up in my build thread?
there is a "Clear my vote" button at the top of the page. I assume that allows you to change your vote in that category.I accidentally voted for someone trying to open up their picture and now it won't let me take it back. Oh well, free vote for someone!
