Ignorance is no excuse. Its there in black and white (lol) and has been a central tenet of every competition on this board for years now. You simply don't go around encouraging people to vote for your design. An argument could be mounted that this is not a posters own design that they are trying to get votes for, but the principle is still the same. A certain design was losing, and indeed looked like it would ultimately lose, so somebody who felt it was "unbelievable" and "sacrilegious" set out to, in their eyes, right a wrong.Vote brigading
There have now been a couple of instances where posters have gone to other boards on BF and have linked a competition thread specifically asking for people to vote for their design. Promotion of the competition on other boards is fine, directing people to vote for your design only is frowned upon (I would say 'illegal' but that is up to each competition runner). Please don't do it. It just creates animosity
I think it calls the integrity of it into question to be honest, i don't think people who like the Roy design should do it ethically. Considering there were only 53 people who regular the forum on the census I did, the poll basically makes no sense now.Time to call Roylion out of retirement to form a counter-brigade![]()
Might be the fairest solution - even have all four in the final.My view as a neutral, repoll both prelims with visible voter names. This was a colossal project and ending like this doesn't do it justice.
I vote call it off due to a doping scandalMight be the fairest solution - even have all four in the final.
Yeah, I wouldn't be against putting the top4 into the mixer again & seeing which one comes out on top. The PBs should have a good chance of winning anyway.Might be the fairest solution - even have all four in the final.
No need to apologize PbPAPOLOGY
I've now had some time for reflection and I'd like to apologise for the disruption I have caused in this comp, and particularly to TheLoungeLizard. I'd also like to apologise to anyone else offended by my action.
I can't apologise in relation to my passion for the Port Adelaide Football Club and our jumper (and the desire for their success in every endeavour), however I can apologise for the way it manifested in this instance. Whilst my action was within the rules of the comp as far as I could tell, it was not within the spirit of the comp or the board generally - for that I sincerely apologise.
I'm not a big contributor on this board but I'm obviously addicted to it (and the inhabitants), and therefore don't want to see it harmed at all. As such, pending any required discussion with the moderators Gibbsy & Red Crow, I'll fade into the background again & abide by the rules/mores of the board.
Once again, my apology. Prison bar Pete
For what it's worth, I don't think you've done that much wrong here, or at least not with any malicious intent.APOLOGY

I'm with FT - stick around! We've all done worseFor what it's worth, I don't think you've done that much wrong here, or at least not with any malicious intent.
It would be a different story if we were talking about the design competitions, where it would serve as an unfair advantage to another designer, but we are talking about an opinion poll, with a jumper that has a proud history. No one has been "wronged" here, it's just unfortunate and TheLoungeLizard will have to look at the best way to re-do the poll.
I would hate to see a top cobber such as yourself stop posting or fade into the background for this, and I hope to see you still active around these parts.![]()
Thanks Pete for the apology, and please don't take it too hard on yourself! I don't wanna see you go anywhere either – it's only small fry in the scheme of online things. I understand and respect your passion for the bars so there are still a number of other ways you can express that on our boardAPOLOGY

What was the issue with the prelims? Was there an influx of non-regular FJGD posters that skewed those results also?My view as a neutral, repoll both prelims with visible voter names.
