Thing is this poll now has no winner, there is no HotM for December 2005. No one can call a win by default a real win especially when the other main competitor was taken out for an unwritten rule. Its as much a loss by whoever wins as the disqualified hack.
I voted prior to any PM, I based my decision on the hacks I was using and those installed hacks have been down to my personal choice. MrZ did not even know if I had switched to v3arcade, this was indeed a possibility. I dont consider a 17 user PM to developers and testers of a product, a link to a poll with "have you voted yet ?" as any kind of rule breaking as ther was no mention of what hack to vote for. If in the past other polls have had items removed for the exact same broken rule, then it was high time a set of rules was in place aftre the second occurance. The decision in this is bad imo. Oh well no point coming back to this thread now but to read further. |

From everyone's coments here, would vb.org consider calling December HotM a dead issue with no winner? If so, would you be willing to allow all entries another run in January?

I have not heard any major objections, if any at all of letting IPBProArcade back into this. I swear i saw a comment mentioning that v3Arcade made note of this in an update email. Perhaps I am mistaken and if so my apoligies.
Seeing as there are no "written" rules, these "rules" are nothing more then he said/she said Although not fair to previous disqualified particpants, this is a pretty contraverseal issue and untill IPBProArcade has been reinstated the rants are just going to conintue. I say let IPB back in this and reset the polls. I have nothing more to say. |

Wow. Simply wow. After reading this thread, I have to seriously question the decision making process at vb.org. How does one get removed from a contest for breaking a rule that nobody knew about but the staff?
The line of reasoning that tamarian got removed from a contest for the same thing is meaningless. Implying that the psuedo-rule should be known across the board because the tamarian event occured is ridiculous. I personally don't pay any attention to HoTM unless a hack I have installed or plan to install is involved so you can't simply assume that every board member knows about the goings on about a HoTM they weren't involved in. I was a little miffed about the removal of ibProArcade when I first read the thread but I figured, okay, rule broken, the removal is justified. However now that I know that the rule doesn't exist (matters not if the staff knew it, if the rule wasn't written and accessible by contestants, it doesn't exist) I wholeheartedly disagree with the removal of ibProArcade from this months poll. Either put them back in the running or nullify the entire December HoTM contest. /me tosses 2 pennies and leaves . *smh* |

i think that this flaming have gone too far, and this HotM thing is now out because there is now a serious lack of support/answers from the staff... i really think that the vb.org guys need to interact a lot more when some decisions like that are taken... that would be a simple proof of Real Public Relations... EDIT: oh, and i think of this... if vb.org guys are too occupied or absent for the season, maybe a GOOD announcement is welcome here... because i think they deserve their vacations, but actually we're not aware of any, so a lot of other guys will continue arguying with no echoes. |

The January side yes it would be quite unfair to block in this months into next. The end result is there is no Dec 2005 HotM as there cannot be any fair or reasonable outcome now, whatever is permitted to continue. |

From ibPro post:

From v3 post: Quote:
I do agree, however, that the unpublished rules should be published. They said they are going to be doing this in the future. I also agree that it would be unfair to January nominees, etc. as posted above, but at the same time I think it unfair that ibPro got knocked out. Those that voted for ibPro might have voted for one of the other modifications and may have given v3 a run, but how will we know now? I guess vB.org has made their final decision. No sense in continuing this. |

Since the rules are unpublished and not known to the general public, isn't it possible that the other hacks have broken one of these "rules" as well?
