Hey, at least you didn’t stupidly start and finish an eggplant design today like I did. I don’t read gud. Sigh.

Oh noooo!! I did that a couple derbies ago. Hang on to it! When you need it, eezy peezy. Done.

This is one of the funniest pieces of fan fiction I’ve read in a while. I’d say the Lyons share of fake votes are coming from one group and they aren’t worried about giving other people votes.

Giving votes or even talking to others. I’ve noticed some artists don’t EVER respond to comments. Are they robots?? lol

It’s definitely so. I just call the guy Spud.

It’s been going on since October, with a brief break over the holidays. If you submit early enough and you’re in the fog or the row right below it, and you’re an artist the that Spud likes, you will often get 20-30, or maybe more, votes all at once.

This has even gotten a few artist’s entries rejected for “Play Fair”.

Totally whacked.

I know you aren’t referring to me with this spud talk. Keep me out of your delusions if so.

Wait, isnt ichabodx a troll? He’s the one who complains whenever Fable submits, right?

There would be no way of knowing that there is a fake votor unless one had staff privileges. Right?

You can’t be the spud in question. Clearly, if you had tons of fake accounts you’d use them on something better than those “play fair” designs.

[cherylfrancis]

What is a fake account and how do I get one?!!

Pretty much. He’s seemingly the last of the abrasive ones here …

Yes - they’ll have the user/IP logged.

That doesn’t preclude those who will simply autovote for their favorite artist(s), though. Was it happening in the past? I’m pretty sure of it, but there was a sizable customer base that made up for it. Nowadays, that customer base has dropped significantly …

Agreed Boots. Tater is NOT that guy. I’d take that bet to Vegas.
