I think this is ridiculous, everybody should know on his own what to vote for, the only thing I agree that any kind of Spam has to be kept out of vb.org, but as long nobody is spamming around it should be ok ...

And not just the arcades, but I would agree that ANY modification that has had unsolicited PMs or e-mails sent should be disqualified. Testers knew they were getting PMs and e-mails. This should not count against them. People make mistakes and having mistyped one username was an honest mistake it seems. Public posts have had comments like "Be sure to vote" and "I voted" throughout the history of Hack of the Month. If we were to disqualify because of this, then that would cancel every winner (I believe) out there.
