It shudlnt be allowed gibber. Well, that’s what I think. It seems unfair. Does anyone else have this moan? Is it even legitimate? Talk about it / tell me off here.

I had some decent submissions. One got up to 31 positive votes. Now it’s at -5. Log in to see images! They always stay neck and neck with the negatives so mine never get very high.
I think people just spam negatives. I wonder if it would be possible to limit the amount of votes you get. Probably it wouldn’t work out, but you never know. |

The constant downvoting is sorta depressing, especially when you get alot of upvotes on a submission, then it crashes to -5 overnight. |

Yeah. I mean, my submissions aren’t great, but I don’t think a submission that’s got 22 positive votes and 20 negative votes, then gets -7 overnight, deserves to be knocked out of the running.
On the other hand, it allows me to resubmit it with +1, so it’s not all bad. |

Treat others as you would wish to be treated. I’m not saying that simply pbuming on the submissions that don’t interest you will automatically get your submissions upvoted, but a high voting ratio earns you karma points at least. I only say this because I noticed your voting ratio was .38. Not good karma there.
So, treat others as you would wish to be treated.

I’ve noticed a trend in downvoting a day or two before the competition resolves. This might be greedy ****ers trying to kill chocolate scoops. We’ll probably see more tonight…
I, of course, only have my own submissions to gage this behavior. Does anyone else see this? |

Nice of you to say, but this happens to be my alt. Log in to see images! I do my voting on my main account and mostly just use this one for fun.

No, I’ve seen this trend, too. I usually get my chocolates at the very beginning of the submission period, but by the middle-end, they’ve all crashed. |

But it doesn’t kill existing chocolate scoops, merely prevents otherwise (possibly) worthy submissions from earning scoops. And unless you know who posted which particular submission, how are you going to target anyone? |

Yeah, it’s significantly different since I pretty much don’t vote at all with this account. |

Karma? So thats why I found a 20 dollar bill lying on the ground. I’d down mbumive up-voting so my ratio is over 75.00. It doesn’t really let bad submissions in, because people who are actually judging fairly will down-vote them. Couple it will down-voters it really just makes people not feel so bad. |

Ah, I see. You have a free alt as opposed to a paid alt. With the latter, the voting ratio is the same. |

I don’t frivolously downvote, I just see a lot that I feel is ****, and tend to withhold plus votes for really good submissions. |

OK, I know I’m breaking the rules and I’ll probably get banned but:
I just upvoted this enemies entry “Upvotes are going to the lousiest submissions I made. Here’s another one.”
I’m not saying anyone else should vote for it. Not at all. |

“Cheezburgr Nao?”, an enemy, had 17 votes this morning. In just a few hours, it was completely down-voted.
“Friends Like These” is going to be a **** to get. Log in to see images! |

I wasn’t feeling the whole “thinking” thing this week, and I randomly submitted a bunch of thoughtless crap to the enemies category. I can seriously order them.. the worst one of the bunch is voted ridiculously high right now, and the couple that were mildly funny are all -5.
The submissions I spend time on get downvoted immediately and make me cry… so thoughtless drivel from now on! (Hey, the mbumes have spoken) |
