You are here to vote for the best picture, not for the best person
.
Asking to vote for one single picture/contestant is wrong. Of course you didn't force people, but you asked them to vote for this picture and well, they were glad to follow.
Why I was making a fuzz about this is:
People spend hours and hours of time to create really good pictures.
And these hours of work deserve a fair contest. If the contest is NOT fair, for my part - I am getting offended.
Seriously, no picture ever gains 15 votes in less than 20 hours, without being advertised or only if it is a god damn masterpiece. As I said, we had a case like this 2 months before, so we knew how this worked.
