If some members make an official complaint (report post/detailed PM to a Staff member) with proof, we will always investigate the report and take action if needed.
Ok, thanks. I thought someone already did. At least they mentioned it in this thread. I thought an investigation would be initiated without a member having to take the first step.
BTW, Brad. Logically one of your comments I don't really get. You single out one rule.
The rules as posted are like this...
Quote:
1.General Posting Rules:
1.1 No "Flaming": Please do not post any messages that harrass, insult, belittle, threaten or flame another member or guest.
1.2 No "Trolling": Please do not post any topic that disrupts the peace and harmony of this board. Don't create meaningless threads with the sole purpose of starting a dispute. This includes messages in profiles and signatures.
1.3 No "Spamming": Please do not double post or cross-post the same message in multiple forums. You will not mass-PM or mass-email multiple members of this site the same message. You will not post for the sake of increasing your post count or hack count.
1.4 No senseless "Bumping": Please do not bump your request/help searching or other threads several times a day. Remember there are people who don't browse this board every hour. So do not bump a thread within 24h or too much even after 24 hours.
1.5 No "Offensive" Posts, Links or Images: Please do not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-orientated, hateful, threatening, racist, sexist, discriminatory, or otherwise violative of any local or international laws. This includes links in your signature, profile, bookmarks as well as posted images, photos and avatars. Staff will ultimately decide if something is appropriate or not.
I presume someone trolling, etc would not disqualify them from HOTM.
As the HotM rules currently seem to be based on the General site rules I would really not like to hazzard a guess at how many HotM contenders over the last 4 years may well have been in breach of these rules, I would guess the majority. It would really depend on how you want to interpret each "general" rule. It could be seen by some that v3arcade is as much in breech of the self promotion rule #2 in Site wide rules.
As they say whats good for the goose is good for the gander and it really depends on 1 interpretation and 2 how much to the letter the rules are to be followed in their current vague form.
I have no beef with either arcade. v3 was great at one time and still has that potential, Im still a fan of both products. The way the rules are currently applied are just a no goer.
Holly cow! I didn't even know my crappy little hack was in this poll. Up against the words "game" and "Google" none the less. Sure to fail in that fight. Figures it would be there when conspiracy theories and espionage rule the day. Oh well, such is life.
I guess it would be a good idea to email hack authors whenever a hack of theirs ends up in this little backstage show here. And in that email could be a little update on the rules and guidlines that a good little coder should follow when their prized toys are dancing on this stage. That would pretty much solve everything. And the bonus is, they might even get to know their hack is involved.

Is it ok if we vote for our own?
Are you serious? I think there may be a little more important things for staff to do then to remind everyone that should care enough to check, that their hack is in the running.
With that said though, I am going to vote for you as I like underdogs...

GOODLUCK!
Sorry, I meant as an automated process, and mostly to stipulate the rules. I was being facetious with the notification part. Since it seems that election to the poll is automated also. Why not just add another process. It's called CYA where I come from. So yes, I am serious.

You do know that the staff here are really Alice bots right?
ok where are the hanging chads? Instead of taking votes away the Supreme Court (vb.org command central) chose to remove the candidate. what a mess. just like the election process in the US I remember seeing all over the place to vote for VBSEO sitemap. that didn't make me vote for them I voted for another script. I think this is a rotten deal. no one put a GUN to another users head telling them to vote for ibpro. if it wasn't a hack to the voting system or mass spamming I believe your justification just plainly stinks. i never received a PM

THIS IS A MESS
They seem to miss the point that by punishing the author they are inadvertently punishing the voters.
The least they can do is let us vote for something else. (WITHOUT HAVING TO PM SOMEONE!)

I am sure those "someone' would prefer you not to pm them either. :ninja:
