I just feel bad for my husband who spends alot of time on this website who truly looks to people for answers and tries to help people as much as possible. Whatever.. I say give it to the 15 year old - poor kid got his video in first and doesnt even have a job... | This has nothing to do with the "rules", this is more of a moral issue than anything else. If you think that theres nothing wrong with cheating, then theres something wrong with you(no offense). I was a little offened at first by davewiig's statement, but you know what, he's right. We should be above this. Matt did what he had to do to be fair for everyone else and quite frankly, I wouldnt be surprised if this is the last one he does. Honestly, I didnt plan on winning b/c theres a lot of videos out there that are way better than mine, I did it for the fun of making it and the competitiveness(sp) of it.

Which is why I like it here. I could go on for hours ranting about how crappy that website is moderated. Not to mention the fact they charge $500-$900 a month for advertising with over 60 advertisers. So with a minimum of $30,000 a month coming in to that site from advertisers, they still make people pay $25 a year to freely use their search engine.

How about restarting the contest? Scrap the whole thing, and just start over. The people who have entered can remain entered or redo their video if they want to as long as its in by the deadline. Post counts and karma have to be up to par by the deadline to be able to vote or something like that. Just my thoughts on it.. | |

I think the rules that have been implemented will prevent the issues we have had. This contest has been going on for a while now... I think we need to trudge through it and move on. We can refine the next one which should be easier now that I now how to prevent voting fraud.
AGAIN - let's take issues like this to PM.
Thanks!
