The results of  Children's Toy II have been recalculated. We found 9 ghost accounts attempting to sway the results. In total, 1,699 votes from 8 different users were removed (roughly 212 votes per person -- there was a disqualification about halfway through the mult-account voting session). One account's votes were already removed by way of the vote monitoring system.
Due to the level of effort this individual took to not get caught, a number of entries have shifted around. Investigations are still underway, although we believe we've narrowed down the culprit. |

that is crazy that someone would take the time to do that many false votes.
the cool thing is that they must have really hated my photo because the score went up some.
good luck with the work process - amazing that you guys can find stuff like this.

| I cant believe that some people get so serious about this site that they would go to this extent. Come one you guys. The idea is to take photos, submit, and learn from the results. The bad guys make it hard for the good guys to enjoy it like they should. |

This is what I always wondered, many people try so hard just to win it. I wished they put so much effort in learning here.
Ghost accounts and friend voting are not new here, and they will be here till the site is there. |

Good catch!
I'm glad that the participating members can now get a true vote of their photo. Its hard to believe that people will go so far to falsify their result, I wonder how proud they could be feeling when they get that falsely created vote.
