Challenge #46 TIEBREAKER + MOD POST!

[remus]

Hello, i cannot stress how important it is for you all to not vote for your own icons. It's unfair and selfish and icon challenges aren't just about winning. Normally i just skim the votes, looking for anything really suspicious but i've always thought ALL the members here followed the rules correctly. Today, i noticed that the last 3 people to vote in the Challenge #46 voting had voted for the exact same icons. Obviously i was a little surprised since there were 53 icons to choose from so i went and had a look at the icons and who made them. I found that the-xtreme-diva had voted for almost ALL the icons she had entered. I was quite shocked since i figured that voting for more than one of your own icons probably meant it wasn't a mistake. So, i went back to some previous challenges she had entered here and i found that in EVERY SINGLE VOTING POST SHE VOTED FOR HER OWN ICONS. In both our userinfo and every voting post, our rules clearly state that you can NOT vote for your own icons. I believe that this rule is in fact, the predominant rule that exists in all icon challenge communities and even if you just had to use your own common sense, it's just the 'right' thing to do. I have banned the-xtreme-diva from the community and i promise you i will try go back to every single challenge she has ever entered here at this community and find out who really deserved the awards. Trixie and i are really disappointed that some members actually do this. I will definitely be paying much closer attention to votes from now on and we will probably provide less pictures and lower the amount of icons you are allowed to enter to keep challenges and voting more manageable.
I am really sorry about this, everyone. Especially to those who didn't place because of the-xtreme-diva and also because i never payed enough attention to the votes.
That said, we have ties in the voting. Please vote, Challenge #47 will be up in a while. I'm just trying to tag all the entries here as well and the last challenge i ever tagged was #26. ♥
