Now if someone was making alt accounts to vote, that'd be an issue.

That has actually happened and we can control that and we do. We delete any votes made by alt accounts. AND we even take away the vote of the person that made the alt accounts. We so mean.

But, seriously, I went back and looked at SoTW, I cannot see any favortism given that in the last 3, 3 different people have won and the selection are anonymous, with the exception of the last one, which Leesa gave names of the enties. But, even still with the names, in the lat 3 you have had 3 different winners and looking at the votes, people are not even voting for the same person each time.

As far as this particular SSoTW goes, and all the others, I always vote for the one I feel is the best, I don't care who took it. I think that in this case the person winning actually has the ugliest person in thier screenshot. (An up-front apology to the person in the screenshot, but that look was very.... well ugly).

But, favortism has been screamed before and it turned out the same way. Given that the admins/mods all discuss things and we have to all agree on the resolution, (and believe me, we do not always agree) I do not see where we are playing favorites. We cannot show you the behind the scene stuff, but I know that favortism does not come into play as much as people would like to think it does. It seriously does not. But, everyone has a right to feel how they want to feel and believe what they want to believe. Nothing I say is going to change that. All I can do is sit back and mod the posts for flaming and such and I must say that the last few posts are getting very close.

So, I will end by putting in a warning to EVERYONE!!! Tread carefully and be careful what you post, because I will remove the posts and give out infractions.
