    Ban all vote for me topics because its cheating, when you post a link that is probably read at least 50 times alot of people can sometimes vote especially when someone who is quite popular like kirbir does it. It can sway the vote and ruin off site polls

    Who say you need to vote? If u don't like it, then u don't need to.

    And even when we vote, then we still go on the site, and we can VOTE for who we want, we don't need to vote for the person that posted the topic.

    So i think it isn't cheating, but just letting people know about the contest, and let them vote to have more chance, much people do that.

    But still, they ask you to vote for them, and since you don't know the other involved (most likely) you vote for the one you know the best.

    I don't think it's cheating, if someone is popular than the person just must be nice, generous or anything else.

    Did you even read the topic?


    Further more, it isn't fair to the other persons involved, because they might play it fair and just hope for people to actually like their work / whatever and vote for them.
    I bet not even half of you voting for people saying you should vote for them, you don't even look at what you are voting on.
    As for that, it's cheating.

    if you are on a site like this and see a topic i bet 99% of the members would vote for the person who said Vote for me. If you have no clue about the poll site or even any other person you will vote for the Gamerenders member. Technically its not cheating but its not fair asking people to vote for you

    lets face it no matter what polls are gonna be somewhat rigged, those other contestants probably get their friends they know and distance relatives to vote for them, so i dont see why this is any different and like Gac said we can vote for someone else are we not capable of makin are own decisions?

    polls are soemwhat rigged? so what are you saying, that 2 wrongs make a right? They probably arent rigged unless the owner of the site is involved and even then its very rare. Let them get their distant relatives and friends vote for them but a few people dont make a difference compared to the 40 or 50 that could have voted for it here

    sorry to use you as an example kirbir but look at this one

    That was the most dumbest post in this topic.... Thats the whole problem people are voting for people who are their friends.. which is considered cheating. It looks like you didn't even have time to read the problem. Read Before posting next time..

    What about just vote posts? Like requesting someone to vote, but not for them? For example, in that topic what if kirbir just asked people to vote without mentioning who she was.

    Like 60% of the forum knows her name, so it wouldn't work anyway.
