Cheating and unfairness in the competition

[salman.pisces]

I wish to inform GM's that players are cheating in this event the video <name censored> has about 700 views but 1312 votes.Now that really is cheating.It is completely unfair that players vote for videos without actually seeing them(or they are the video's creator's fake accounts).

I believe it is better that the GM's and/or the outspark staff decides who wins the competition.

[ras-blackfire]

yea i also think its not fair, and that the GMs need to deside the winners

[salman.pisces]

Notice how the the best 3 voted videos have more votes than views.Definitely cheating.
Cheating=Disqualification

[GM_Nekopon]

We're looking into this, please wait...

[devin_nicolai]

Yeah I saw that too.
So I gave him a thumbs down :c

[GM_Nekopon]

Winners will be determined by the staff.

[salman.pisces]

that was fast O.O
at least the cheaters cant really cheat now =)

im just saying this COULD be a possobility what if that certain person really earned those votes and never cheated do you think that wouldve been a pretty thing if he got disqualified and all the hard work he did into makin the mv for nothin i mean that wouldnt be a good thing to see im just sayin couldnt you have asked around a lil bit or something before posting this oO?

[Mewaki]

well it really isn't just based on number of votes, views and average of votes. It is also based on effects, creativeness and etc. Although the votes do make ppl feel like its the main part.

Okay, but if they earned those votes they should at LEAST have the same amount of views as votes... so your theory kinda... fails

I agree, some vids have more votes than views. If you say its not cheating, somethings wrong with you XD

The group was created simply as a was to compile the entries and create a convenient way to view them.

The staff will be choosing the winners.

its kinda impossible for more than a thousand(yes,more than a thousand) people to vote for a video without even viewing it AND if it really was so and that person never cheated(i said 'if' even though its impossible),then he still didnt 'earn' the votes.

Anyway,why is this still being discussed?Nekopon said that the staff will decide it.

*shrugs*

I wouldn't drink it.

[salman.pisces]

you should try new things,especially stragtea.I know somebody loves it.Who knows,you might love it too...

[frazzledpanda]

I think its good that the staff is picking, because not only are there peeps with outrages amounts of votes but I find that they are also going around and just voting down others videos with out watching them. My video is not good my any means but I think if some one is going to vote then they need to take the time and comment to why they think its so low. Just down voting some one to make yours look better is not fare play.

What an awesome decision, after-all, it'll finally be legit competition. I strongly dislike cheaters, and applaud you gm's for making this choice.

It's funny though, cheaters wasted all that time doing all that work for nothing!! :D

I will soon be submitting my video, it's gonna be killer. >=)

Unfair a video was only one minute in and have only 120 votes and is on grand place i was first prize not grand but i liked it because i LOVE T-PAIN nad i would pehaps get a signed ALBUm that would BE so Perfect *-* but then this video come and kicked me from first place and now i am third place >.( no signed Album >:( THAST UNFAIR i was no spamming or cheating!!!!!!

[lovla]

NAd the video from grand place is a ****!!!
BORED

[salman.pisces]

i doesnt really matter whether you were first place or not since the staff decides the winners nor does it matter how much votes you had and in how much time(unless you were cheating because then the staff wint let you win =P).

[prasss]

Guys.. on youtube views glitch and appear later on, the ratings do not however so you end up with more votes than views, look at any popular new video, all have the same, i think you should do more research or contact youtube before you start accusing.

[salman.pisces]

eh? i never knew that...
